How could you use Ubuntu to create your own distro of XBMC (ex. Boxee Plex)? Is there a site (I checked XBMC's wiki and found nothing) that tells you how to do this?

You may find the answer in the development of XBMCbuntu, which is now the recommended live demo-and-install media for XBMC, as of XBMC 11, “Eden”.

If you are expecting a straightforward how-to procedure, I think you will be disappointed. XBMCbuntu is the result of a lot of complex work by a lot of people, and the best way to understand how it is put together is to examine the source code repository.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc

For a thorough installation guide for lots of media stuff check this question on AskUbuntu. The accepted answer covers a lot of the multimedia application installation and skinning.

If the question isn't how do I install xmbc, but how do I make a respin you should check out turnkeylinux tools or remastersys.
