June 14 Distro of the Day: NexentaOS

Today's Distro of the Day is NexentaOS Alpha 7. NexentaOS is a little bit different in that it is based on Sun's OpenSolaris kernel rather than the Linux kernel. The Solaris kernel is well-known to be very solid and sophisticated. NexentaOS includes many Debian/Ubuntu packages and is as easy to use as Ubuntu.

NexentaOS includes Apache, MySQL, Perl/Python/PHP, Firefox, Evolution, software update manager, Synaptic package manager, Gaim Instant Messenger, abiword, administration & development utilities, editors, graphics, GNOME, interpreters, libraries and many others. All of this is running on the state-of-the-art SunOS kernel. Visit the ScreenShots gallery to see them all in action.

Here is a one minute video podcast showing off NexentaOS:
