Oz

Oz is a tool for automatically installing guest OSs with only minimal up-front input from the user.

Fully supported guests (automatically customizable)

Fedora 7 - 16 yes yes yes
OpenSUSE 11.x yes yes yes
RHEL 5.x, 6.x yes yes yes

IMPORTANT NOTE: Support for every guest OS revision is manually added.

This means Oz won't automatically support RHEL 5.8, 6.2, (etc) when they come out. After a new guest OS is released (ie RHEL 5.8), Oz is updated to support it, then a new release of Oz is made.
