Great concept. Lots of interesting tools, but almost too much to digest in one swoop. For example the Finance R view contains dozens of libraries! Perhaps a day in the use of this appliance might spur ideas?
Also, I salute you on a very original concept. Rather a lot of ‘omigodicanmakeadistro’. The Geo distro from Poland is also interesting; again, logistics make it nearly impossible to use.
Somewhat unsure what one does with this after downloading. I’m finding the whole SuseStudio thing a nice idea but impossible to run anything but a burned DVD.
Another wonderful addition to your suite of tools: KNime. http://www.knime.org . It is how I learned rudimentary statistics. It is a visual programming tool where you hook up different table processors and get charts. It is a plug-in that lets you script R computations from the external R server. There is a huge pile of plugins, mostly chemistry but also a nice suite of text processing tools called ‘Weka.
I usually run it as a VMware Workstation / Player or VirtualBox guest machine instead of burning a DVD or a USB stick. Then again, it’s actually a subset of the openSUSE installation on my workstation and laptop. I tried the SUSE Studio USB stick builds but on my USB stick the write performance made it unusable.
I should check out KNime – I’ve heard about it but if it will run on openSUSE I’ll put it in. There are a couple of R IDEs / GUIs I don’t have because they’re Windows or Mac only.

Yeah … R / CRAN is a massive toolset. Is there some particular area that interests you?
