Revisor is the recommended tool for SL6.  You always have the option of 
rolling by hand.  I use a set of modified scripts to roll custom SL5 
images based on the documentation on the SL's website and from searching 
the web.  If you simply want to customize the packages, you can make the 
necessary changes, rebuild the repo data, update the comps files, and 
build the image.

Remember, SL and TUV are _not_ bleeding edge like Fedora.  Just because 
the bleeding edge calls something "old" doesn't mean it is garbage and 
useless.  It just means someone has come up with a new/different way of 
accomplishing the same task.
