Today we announced SUSE Studio 1.0.
SUSE Studio is a web service that makes it fun and easy for anyone with a couple of years of Linux experience to build a software appliance, or your own custom Linux distribution, in less than ten minutes.

This project represents a huge portion of my creative energy over the last two years, and I am very proud and happy to have it out in the world. The SUSE Studio team is one of the most talented and fun groups of people I have ever had the honor of working with (and I have been very lucky), and this release is a fitting achievement for such a great team.
I sat down tonight to write about SUSE Studio, and after a couple of hours I realized that I had way too much to say to fit into a single post.
So over the next two weeks, I’m going to publish a series of blog posts covering a variety of topics related to SUSE Studio, ranging from technical details to the software appliance market to the lessons I learned working on this amazing project.
I hope to publish every day, so please check back often. If you use Google Reader, you can subscribe with this link. I will also post links to these articles as they appear, here:
In the meantime, I encourage you to get a SUSE Studio account, or you can also whet your appetite with one of these links:

Well, it’s difficult to try suse studio because there must be a huge list to get an invitation (I made my petition on at 2009-07-02 07:36:49 UTC)
By the way, it seems a great service to me !!!. Now you can make your self-tailored SuSE system in 15 minutes…. and it seems to be free, great !!!!

You should have your invitation now
Be patient, everyone will get one. There is a small backlog of people who didn’t get invited yet, but this is going away fast.-
Hey, thanks !!!
I’ll check it out. I’ll read your posts too

Awesome work. Seems like a revolutionary product the more I think about it.
Would really like to hear more about how the most difficult, technical bits of bringing this project to life were solved.

Thanks for the feedback Rich! I definitely plan to write several posts along these lines. These will be interleaved with posts about the general goals and concepts, so thanks for your tolerance of that too

Nice service, quite some design changes through the time I’m using/testing it. But always, a neat design.
I was wondering what are you doing with old designs ? any way they could get published under OSS license ?
Or could you publish the color palettes of previous designs ? I found them superb, and it would be a waste if they would disappear.Keep up with the good work!

Interesting question. I’ll ask Garrett LeSage (the designer) if he’d like to publish those in some way. It might be a lot of work to sort out all the CSS and everything to publish that, but certainly worth asking.

If I can help in any way, let me know ( you have my mail, and more contact options listed @ website, if you prefer im).

Hi
I am a college student and am interested in vmware or virtualbox virtualized server template. These dependencies are a real killer for me. Is ther a library of these virtual machines ?
Thanks
