opensolaris based distro

imagine an opensolaris based distribution, with added hardware auto-detection and configuration (knoppix), and a good package manager (apt/dpkg).

now that would be a killer system. a solid kernel and base libraries tools, easy to configure and manage for consumer style PCs, and a good package system for maintaining your system - perhaps even kernel upgrades?

If you've ever used Solaris for x86, you'll know the biggest issue facing Solaris/OpenSolaris is the lack of support for more hardware.
