It's rare to see some truly interesting ideas in Linux distributions, as most seem content to just remaster Ubuntu with a different theme. Therefore, we at OSNews are always interested in fresh and interesting distributions that try to add something of value to the landscape. One such distribution is xPUD, a fast-booting, kiosk-like distribution that uses the Mozilla Gecko Runtime to display a simple user interface that allows you to launch normal desktop Linux applications.

Coming back to Ubuntu, the next release, jaunty is also booting a lot faster. So its not about themes.
The 'most seem content to just remaster Ubuntu with a different theme' comment seems to be directed at distribution(-wannabes) that base themselves on Ubuntu (and arguably don't offer much more except a cool name and a new theme) - not at Ubuntu itself.
