There is also xbmclive http://xbmc.org/download/

From the wiki http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_Live :

XBMC Live is a boot-CD with XBMC Media Center pre-configued to work directly out-of-the-box without touching the users harddrive for demo purposes. Once booted, XBMC Live will give the user the option to either just run it as a demo from only the CD (not touching your harddrive) or do a permanent installation of XBMC Live complete with embedded operating-system onto a 2GB (or larger) USB-flash-memory-stick or your internal harddrive for a dedicated set-top-box style installation of XBMC

Wondering why only Ubuntu ever gets press these days. I find UNR 9.01 to be average, if a bit quirky, since UNR has 2 GUI based package installation tools. some folks say use this one, other folks say use that one….. the repositories have still not set Firefox 3.5 as the upgrade to 3.0.x, there are GUI problems when using the netboot features (set a background color). I mean, hype all you want, but this is just AVERAGE.
