I've never understood why people regard a disc image that installs a custom set of packages from existing repos belonging to an existing distro as an entirely new distro. Does this mean I'm authoring a new distro every time I write a Debian preseed or a RH kickstart?



Suse Studio actually lets you do more than that. You can patch any file and also submit your own custom updates to the distros you've created. You can also change the branding.

But I agree, custom distro might be a bit of a stretch. What would you call a *SUSE image that's not SUSE?
