Well I have tried Linux From Scratch I usually do not get much time but I am still doing it any how since you mentioned about Suse tool here it is http://susestudio.com/ but to tell you I will suggest first do some thing that is easy you will do mistakes even in this also and then go for making your own distribution that will surely help.I started with reading Fedora Spins and a lot more stuff you will come across a lot of things.
