Ilho Kim: my question was the other way. Debian is not just a Linux distribution, it is also a Hurd and FreeBSD distribution, and it could also be a Solaris distribution if Nexenta/OpenSolaris were interested.

@Mark: I’ll check with the license gurus about about the restrictions sections – FWIW, Java never made it onto the LiveCD.

What is up with the weird license? The Restrictions section is really harsh. And even though Sun’s Java implementeation is now largely distributed under the GPL and we have a full free version as IcedTea you are still trying to restrict people from creating java software :{
I was hoping Indiana was about Free Software, this is a little disappointing.

Congrats! Can’t wait to see a final release.

One question however, are Sun going to be getting involved in betterdesktop.org type projects and create a SLED style enterprise release? I’d really like to see a solaris enterprise desktop which compares to the quality of SLED, with usability improvements and general desktop love.
