Ryan, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but United Linux is not free and the cheapest version, if we discount the ones on the Houston St. in NYC, is around $100. United Linux is a coordinating committee of vendors who say what should the distro look like. That means that everybody agrees where to put include files, where do executables go, what is in the kernel and which package manager to use. United Linux means "SuSE or Connectiva". There is another member of the United Linux consortium which will make the whole effort go south: Santa Cruz Operations, SCO for short. Until they're finished off, they'll likely obstruct the UL effort.
