Is the full OpenSuse Distro available as a base for customising?  
I would find it easier to take out a few things that I am not interested  
in rather than trying to figure out what all the packages are that I  
need.

Not really, but that’s the nice thing about SUSE Studio - you don’t need  
to figure out what you need in terms of dependencies, just add what you  
want and the dependencies are worked out for you.
