Last week, on my country's Liberation Day, Sun released OpenSolaris 2008.05, the much awaited first official fruit of Project Indiana. It delivers many of OpenSolaris' major features, such as DTrace, ZFS, containers, and more, in a Linux distribution-like package. The goal is to allow more people to experience Solaris. A few reviews have since hit the web.

Not to make fun of anything at all, but I had a similarly peculiar experience with FreeBSD PPC on my Apple Powerbook 12"...
Everything worked but the keyboard and touch pad...
This was due to these parts being connected via an old type of interface, named Apple Desktop Bus, with no drivers available as opposed to USB on all other Powerbooks...
With a USB keyboard and mouse attached, everything worked like a charm ...
Somewhat off topic, but these are the little things that serve to frustrate people, so I hope it'll be fixed in Solaris!
