Well, and finally here's my original problem boiled down to two sentences:

a) You (or at least I) don't really want a Linux distribution with a Solaris kernel

b) There... is... no... Illumos... distribution! There never will be one, as it \
stands. Illumos is only the ON part to Solaris, bootable in the future if you're \
lucky. And there's a delta missing between ON and Indiana (aka OpenSolaris). Just as \
there is a delta between Indiana and full blown Solaris 10 / Solaris 11. Call it a \
niche product but it's something I personally find attractive to have something \
between both and am still searching.

So, ladies and gentlemen: where is the alternative?

Cheers
 Stefan
