NexentaOS GNU/OpenSolaris
From the official homepage:
For more info you can check out distrowatch.NexentaOS is a complete GNU-based open source operating system built on top of the OpenSolaris kernel and runtime. It is a result of our inspiration and desire to build a great system based on the best existing software: SunOS kernel and GNU software. We use Debian/Ubuntu - one of the best existing software distribution/packaging mechanisms - to glue the numerous pieces together.
NexentaOS is completely open source and free of any charge. It contains Apache, MySQL, Perl/Python/PHP, Firefox, Evolution, software update manager, Synaptic package manager, Gaim Instant Messenger, abiword, administration & development utilities, editors, graphics, GNOME, interpreters, libraries and many others. All of this is running on the state-of-the-art SunOS kernel.
I'm very interested in this OS. Very strong combo. I'll wait, though, for at least Beta release to install it on my greatest super-computer. Or a LiveCD of the latest Alpha 6 version. Also, pre-installed VMware image sounds nice.... No, no, no! LiveCD will be, nothing else.
