   "Solaris also lacks any packaging capabilities within the installer 
so that the end-user could
    select what specific packages or classes of packages to add or 
remove from the installation
    manifest."

   This statement is partly inaccurate. The package selection option was 
I guess intentionally
   removed from the SXDE install path. It is present if you go via the 
Solaris Express Grub
   menu route.

   "This distribution will be licensed under the GPLv3, of course"

   Whoa ... where was this mentioned ?

   But overall it is an interesting comparison.

Moinak.
