A short story about using the right tools: Factory is the development distribution of the openSUSE project, currently at version 10.3 Alpha 2+. The SUSE-powered Dashboard tells you what is compiling - or not. If it's a good day the KDE 4 packages in the openSUSE Build Service can be updated. And finally KIWI allows you to create operating system images, eg. Live-DVDs.

And what do you get if you combine these together? A KDE SVN Live-DVD. :-)
