Effortlessly build a custom Linux Live CD #

and boot it instantly from a cloud-based virtual machine with SUSE Studio. Share your results with the world in one click. I put together a bare-bones 32-bit openSUSE 12.1 image for data recovery that includes:

GNOME 3 / Nautilus
Chromium
TestDisk
PhotoRec
ddrescue
hdparm
GParted
dc3dd
safecopy
kpartx (multipath-tools)
mmls (The Sleuth Kit)
make/gcc/gcc-c++
mc (Midnight Commander)
Wget
vsftpd
ftp
nc (Netcat)

Additional info:

Users: root/root, user/pass (automatic graphical login as user)
Some commands (like kpartx, iptables, and vsftpd) will return command not found unless run as root (get root prompt with su).
Firewall (rcSuSEfirewall2) is enabled by default. Modify rules with iptables.
After signing up for a free account, you can test drive the appliance online.
Found via the inaccurately-titled (but no less welcome) Use SUSE Studio to Build a Linux OS From Scratch. If you really want to build Linux from scratch, see Linux From Scratch.
