It is not similar to Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux or *BSD distribution,
because these distributions can be bootstrapped to a {z,k,c,ba,}sh shell
with all free software components, whereas OpenSolaris, atm is not in
any position to bootstrap without binary-only drivers, and work is going
on to allow OpenSolaris to bootstrap without involving the use of binary
only stuff, which Angad has mentioned in one of his earlier mails to this
list.
AFAIK, {z,k,c,ba,}sh doesn't require sound-card, network-card or graphics-card
to start.
