Nexenta is a OpenSolaris distro that uses the OpenSolaris kernel
and Ubuntu Dapper userland. See http://www.nexenta.com/index.php.
What about SchilliX ? http://schillix.berlios.de/
Tried that one ?
Nope! I prefer the comfort of apt :-)
Installing open source packages on Solaris is painful. The
Solaris install media itself includes some basic open source
packages, and sunfreeware.com also helps. But there's nothing
on Solaris that comes even remotely close apt or BSD ports.
sunfreeware is improving, but IMO it's not yet useable.
OpenSolaris kernel with a familiar GNU/Debian userland will be
a truly unbeatable combination.
OpenSolaris is also picking up a good deal of momentum... rumours
are that Google is evaluating OpenSolaris in their data centers!!
