StormOS is the first desktop distribution based on Nexenta Core Platform which combines the power of the Solaris kernel with the ease of use of Ubuntu. It aims to be a lightweight OS with everything the average user would want out-of-the-box.
Developer comments
The project was started due to my dissatisfaction with OpenSolaris. I found it slow on my netbook, and although it runs great on my desktop I dislike IPS. APT is much nicer.
