OpenSolaris 2008.5, the new distribution based on the OpenSolaris operating system, has been released into the wild. This release follows the conventions set by many of the popular Linux distributions, such as being based on a single live CD with installer, but also adds a load of OpenSolaris-specific features such as ZFS, DTrace, Containers, and a new package management system, IPS. OpenSolaris 2008.5 is the fruit of Project Indiana.

Thank god. Having the backspace key spew out useless junk instead of deleting characters is a personal irritant.
[I don't have any say in the process of shell selection, and I don't use Solaris enough to make arrangements to get around it.]
