That's just what it's for.
It you need high quantities, can't afford to have CD's swapped around (an
issues when updating SuSE, for example), or find over-the-network
updates/patches/software to be a burden, also look at:
https://shipit.kubuntu.org/
https://shipit.edubuntu.org/
https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
large quantities and *completely* free.
Best wishes,
