So it is basically a version of Linux closely based on Ubuntu (with potential to have most/all appliances also available on a Debian base). But different to many distros is that each variance is packaged as an preconfigured appliance, for a specific usage scenario. They are available in various formats which currently include ISO, VM image and EC2 images (more to come soon). Ie very similar to VM appliance Store but with the advantage that they will happily run on a range of bare-metal and virtual hardware bases. Another advantage is that all TKL appliances are FLOSS, so free (in both senses of the word).
TKL is first and foremost an Ubuntu based appliance library
