As they're all Ubuntu-based, why not roll-your-own?

Install Ubuntu. Install Kubuntu-desktop. Install Xubuntu-desktop. Use Remastersys to create a new iso. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remastersys. Any of the Desktop Environments can then be used by simply selecting your session at the login screen.

Granted, you might need to create two DVD's (32bit and 64bit), but to me, this seems like an easy way of doing it. You might want to speak to some of the Shift devs for more info on creating your own distro.

couldn't i just just have a boot loader, then when i select disk it would just run the ISO install, (so i think i would need to learn how to boot loader works.)

Even if it is possible, it would be a terrible waste of disk space as a lot of the core data would be duplicated five times.

Another possibility would be to use the Ubuntu minimal cd. Boot and install from it, then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or whichever. Obviously you'd need an internet connection, and it would be a "live cd" session, but a straight installation.
