Introduction to SUSEStudio
1 like543 views
SUSE Studio is a web application that allows users to easily create customizable virtual appliances. It provides a simple interface for configuring and building disk images, VMware images, live CDs/USBs, and Xen images from a library of Linux packages and configurations. Traditionally, creating customized Linux installations was a complex and time-consuming process requiring manual configuration. With SUSE Studio, users can build customized Linux appliances within minutes with just a web browser.
