thats technically impossible, the word ubuntu is even in the version
numbers of packages ... the only thing you have to remove is the
trademarked stuff like logos etc and you cant use the name ubuntu
in/for your product .... i.e. if you would do a spanish distro with
enlightenment as the desktop based on ubuntu, you couldnt call it
"hispabuntu" without canonicals approval ...(similar to iceweasle vs
firefox)

there are plenty of derivative distros based on ubuntu ... most of them
just using archive.ubuntu.com or even the isos as a base
