nexenta

[Sasha Tsykin]

Is there some reason why Nexenta is not integrated into Ubuntu as a 
sister distribution like Kubuntu and Xubuntu? If it used the same 
repositories, servers, etc. it would be much simpler to try it out, and 
it would make it easier for the developers too without inconveniencing 
those who develop Ubuntu and its current sister operating systems. The 
argument could be made that it uses a different kernel altogether, but 
it has proved to be no particular issue to have multiple kernels already 
in the same repositories so far, and multiple architectures for almost 
every other package.

The other possible argument would be that Ubuntu is Linux, but I see no 
reason for Ubuntu sister operating systems to always be based on Linux, 
given that they are not all based on Gnome. It would raise the profile 
of Nexenta at no cost to Ubuntu if Nexenta packages were to be included 
in the repositories.
