Autopackage was the one I'd seen before, but forgot the name.

After ranting on this thread this morning, I ran across
http://0install.net/matrix.html
which contains a mini ZeroInstall take on the Autopackage and other options.

rPath.com is from some of the old Red Hat guys doing RPM one better,
making appliances, somewhere between build systems
and git, etc, afaict...

but personally, I'm still stuck on the older hardware doesn't boot
from usb, and cdr isos are very slow by comparison
(a young person was complaining (some) when XO hardware
was taken away and replaced with a sugar cdr on a
regular laptop in the USA...).
