Right on the front page of their site they say :
"UnitedLinux is a standards-based Linux operating system targeted at the
business user. It is developed, marketed and sold by an experienced
partnership of Linux companies. "
What I got from it is that it is a distro unto itself, which will be LSB
certified/compliant/whatever..
I did come across this on my second reading of the FAQ though... "each
UnitedLinux partner will still have its own Linux distribution that is
"Powered by UnitedLinux." "
