Did I not say that Ubuntu was a Linux distribution? NexentaOS is
nothing more than an Ubuntu derivative that uses the OpenSolairis
kernel/libraries. 

In the begining there was Debian. Then came the good folks at Ubuntu
who took the unstable branch of Debian, added love and all the goodness
that comes thereof, and gave birth to our beloved Linux distribution.
Then came the folks at Nexenta who took the latest stable release of
Ubuntu known to us as Ubuntu-5.10 (Breezy Badger) and modified it to
work with OpenSolairis thereby creating yet another flavor of
Debian-come-Ubuntu.

At this point Erast (the original poster) is probably creating the
necessary patches to the GNOME System Tools to contribute back to the
Ubuntu community as he said he would do. I would have expected a little
more understanding from a community the likes of Ubuntu.
