[Mono-list] Slashdot Mention and SUSE Builder.

[Stéphane Zanoni]

Thanks for the heads up, Miguel.

We will be investigating this as part of our application release next
month.  Should cut support costs down for trial and smaller deployments.
 I bet most of our already virtualized customers would rather import a
pre-installed VM anyway.

This may be the wrong list to ask, but what will the differences be
between the studio.suse.com and Novell JeOS ?  Or are they one and the
same?

I could not weight on that thread because we were about to launch a
new
service at Novell that we believe every .NET developer will love: a
Linux appliance builder.


Today we rolled out what I think will be a very useful tool for every
Windows.NET developer.

The SUSE Studio:

	http://studio.suse.com 

This is a tool that allows users to create their own Linux-based
operating systems with the exact amount of software preconfigured and
tested.   You can put as little or as much of a Linux OS as you need
to
deliver your solution.

NET developers really have not had a chance to pre-package an OS with
their application and any required dependencies (database servers,
configuration, tuning) since they can not redistribute Windows
themselves. 

Miguel.
