Fedora has the Kadischi project, which facilitates creating custom Live
Fedora distros, although it's not as cool as this "snapshot" feature.
Very cool.

Other than rBuilder, the next nearest thing is SLAX, which provides a
relatively simple toolkit for creating custom Live CDs using SLAX
modules, each one of which represents an entire application plus all
it's associated dependencies. Sort of like an RPM/deb package, only for
LiveCD building.

But this PCLOS utility may indeed be unique, and is undoubtedly very useful.

I haven't tried it yet, maybe later, but I've got the ISO already, at
record speed too :)
