 With the ISO method, however, you are also limited to the distro's choice of base distro (specialized distros, like music-making distros, are almost always based on a bigger distro - KXStudio is based on UbuntuStudio and is shifting to Debian, and AVLinux is based on Debian Stable.) and DE. So some, like KXStudio, also offer another option, that of installing their repositories on another distro.
