"Google is experimenting with the open-source version of Sun's Solaris operating system as a possible long-term prelude to replacing its massive global network of Linux servers, according to sources. With dozens of data centers worldwide estimated to house hundreds of thousands of Intel servers supporting its flagship search engine, a Google move to OpenSolaris would be another of several recent votes of confidence for the platform."

If you're running compiled versions of OpenSolaris source code, you're running...uh...OpenSolaris. If you need to run anaconda to install Red hat Enterprise Linux, that doesn't mean when you're finished you're running anaconda, not RHEL. And I didn't say that it was sensationalist: what I said was that if the rest of the article was as poorly researched as that part, there's not much chance of it not being sensationalist.
