This week I've played around with Nexenta. This is a neat operating system. It is basically a "distribution" of OpenSolaris, using debian-like package management system, built on the Ubuntu "Dapper Drake" release. Fortunately, it just happened to support all of the pieces of hardware in the test system, a Supermicro H8DAR-T, with Broadcom ethernet and a Marvell88 based onboard SATA2 controller.
