Session Title:

The Future of Linux is Software Appliances

Session Abstract:

Today the Linux world is dominated by one-size-fits-all Linux distributions that include thousands of packages and that can be two or three gigabytes fully installed. In this presentation, Nat will introduce the benefits of streamlined, single-purpose software appliances based on Linux -- in the form of virtual machine images, bootable and installable media, or live USB keys.
Nat will also show some exciting new technology that's being developed inside SUSE that will make it fun and easy for you to treat Linux distributions like lego sets to create your own custom Linux appliances.
