Tracking customization: Open Build Service, KIWI NG (SUSE Studio Express), other thoughts?
In regard on how to distribute things: If you just want an installation server then I would recommend Cobbler. This server is what is used by Uyuni under the hood for auto-installations. But this would be only reasonable if you really want to try to distribute in a broader way. I am aware that both projects are used from a couple of multiple thousands of machines. So you should be able to bend that system to your desire.
