NexentaCP was the first OpenSolaris distro to have native ZFS root installer. NexentaCP also beat Indiana to supporting updating the whole OS from an online repository, using ZFS snapshots to allow you to roll back to previous updates.
I've used it and it is pretty simple and good. Basically it is OpenSolaris built by people outside Sun, using deb packages and apt to update stuff. The quality produced by just a handful of guys reminds you why competition is a good thing.
