Nexenta (Debian-based GNU/Solaris) launches

Parent article: Nexenta (Debian-based GNU/Solaris) launches

Keep in mind that the debian people want to run debian on the hurd, run
debian on every bsd kernel out there, and even run debian on the windows
kernel.

No, I didn't make that last one up:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-win32/

I expect Debian on Solaris to have the same deep and abiding impact on the
software industry as debian-win32.

If by 'the debian people' you mean the handful of people who actually work on those projects, you're right. The vast majority of the Debian people probably don't care and are not in any way directly involved in these projects.
