BeleniX 0.4 (Alpha) Has just been released...

Can anyone enlighten me (if you have ued all of them, so much the better) about the differnces, possibilities, good points or bad ones of/between:

- NexentaOS Alpha 3,
- BeleniX 0.4 (Alpha),
- Solaris 10 OS,
- Solaris Express
- Any other Solaris or OpenSolaris OS or Distro...

I mean:
- usability,
- what is good one for, that others are not...
- what is bad one for, that others are not...
- speed (any difference???)
- easyness to learn
- easyness to emploi
- specific & useful software not included in the others
- What are the diffrenences, if any between the Solaris kernel and the Open solaris one???
- Better options for Desktop
- Better options for Server
- Availavility of sofware packages
- Availavility/facility to upgrade via internet
- Hardware recognition (any differences???)
- Easyness of installation
- Avantages and disavantages of using Solaris or an OpenSolaris Kernel based Distro ???
- What can I do with them that i can not do with a Linux Distro ???

That's it, I guess ... ;)
