 | | SchilliX, an OpenSolaris-based live CD, was the first OpenSolaris derivative released, only days after Sun's release of the OpenSolaris code. |
 | | Ghosh said he also "borrowed a couple of ideas from" Debian, Knoppix, and SchilliX, but tried to avoid "understanding their implementation" because he wanted to figure it out himself. |
 | | Nexenta debuted on November 7, and has generated more interest and discussion than BeleniX and SchilliX combined because of its hybrid development as a Debian-based OS using the OpenSolaris kernel and filled out with a majority of packages that originated in Ubuntu, said Alex Ross, a developer on the project. |
