Technically speaking every distro uses different software and steps to create their finished product. Different boot systems, different startup scripts (systemv or initd), some even use different event dispatchers (cron, vixicron, etc.). The actual specification of a "UNIX" is quite loose and only describes really how the system will behave to a shell script. Operating systems such as Darwin have taken the UNIX standard and almost completely reinvented the underlying technology. If you asked a more specific question, eg. how is Ubuntu made, we'd be able to give you a much more specific answer.
