They're completely different from Oz really, except that both can use kickstart files for their automation. appliance-creator is basically running yum in a chroot and handling the kickstart config itself. Oz boots KVM and runs the *real* installer in a guest, providing it with the kickstart. Due to its architecture, appliance-creator is doomed to only ever supporting Fedora, where as Oz can support every OS that is capable of running inside KVM.
