Here is what users have to say about Nexenta

Nexenta OS is a computer operating system based on Ubuntu and Solaris for IA-32 and x86-64 based systems. It emerged in fall 2005, after Sun Microsystems started the OpenSolaris project in June 2005. Version 1.0 of the NexentaOS was released in February 2008, building upon many release candidates that were widely used in 2006 and 2007fact: date=March 2008. Nexenta OS is the first distribution that combines the GNU C library and userland with the OpenSolaris kernel. The Nexenta OS supplies capabilities such as transactional upgrades and an open source packaging capability to the Linux / Debian community, enabling the simple creation of software appliances. An additional purpose of Nexenta OS is to provide a kernel allowing proprietary closed source hardware drivers to be produced for inclusion in an open source operating system. Nexenta Systems, Inc. initiated the project and sponsors its continued development.
