After checking the UnitedLinux web site, I have to say, this is the smartest thing anybody's done for Linux in quite some time. All the different distros, package managers etc only serve to confuse matters from the end-users' point of view.
Even if it lacks a few features or isn't exactly what everybody wants, at least it's a step toward some sort of standard so everybodys speaking the same language. What would really help it along would be if Red Hat would get involved. Right or wrong, many seem to think that Red Hat is the standard. Imagine how much easier it would be if we all had the same basic file structure (with regard to config files), same config files, same package manager etc. Should be interesting.
