Hey, maybe Sun and Canonical will team up to maintain and develop Nexenta! That would be great. But I haven't heard any such rumors. :-(

I'd buy that for a dollar. Posted Apr 4, 2008 0:45 UTC (Fri) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link] What they really need is an OpenSolaris kernel package with "Linux kernel personality" that would install as a boot-time option on an existing Ubuntu system. Probably easier to add a fake Linux /sys and /proc at the kernel level than to clean up the crusty old Solaris userspace.

You can install certain linux distributions inside a Solaris zone. Unfortunately, the only supported one is kernel 2.4 only and therefore some really old distros. A grad student worked on a 2.6 version, but I don't believe it is stable. Sun may be working on it though.
