Yes. The Mint family. Flavors of Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Fluxbox available. 
They are built on *buntu repos but comes with restricted apps such as 
flash, mp3, Sun Java etc...
IMHO Mint is more polished, probably because they are released one month 
after the *buntu distros and accordingly have time to iron the worst 
bugs out. Otherwise Mint works almost exactly as *buntu. - besides that 
they now have a 'rolling' distro based on Debian.
