Thanks for the responses.  I probably shouldn't have used the word
"appliance", because I want this OS to run on any type of hardware.  I
would like it to perform the same hardware detection that Ubuntu
normally does when you install from CD.  The Ubuntu OEM install is very
cool, but I want it to allow me to create an install CD of the modified
system.  

The reason I called it an appliance is because I want this
pre-configured server to serve a very specific purpose, to be a DNS
server (possibly DHCP as well).  This would include the DNS/DHCP
services installed and running, along with a web-based GUI to manage
each service.  Add some documentation on the desktop and you have a very
simple and easy to use DNS/DHCP server.  If we can make an install CD
for a modified Ubuntu, I can imagine dozens of single-purpose servers
that could be created, all "Powered by Ubuntu".
