in CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora you have something called anaconda, which installs out of a repo of rpm packages ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/BuildEnvironment )

With Ubuntu you have options like kickstart (https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html) or the roll your own live cd distro (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization)

Kickstart is somewhat similar to Anaconda as well. It does not take much to add custom packages, or change whats installed by default. you can do more advanced things with %post install scripts as well.
