+1 I'd hate to see Indiana just be another Ubuntu flavor, it needs to have technology that fits it. The inherent danger of mimicking Ubuntu is that for a long time we'll likely fall short, we'll be the Ubuntu with ZFS but without all the drivers. We should aim for the best solution we can be, Indiana already has a compelling set of features and I think we should continue the trend SUN set forward with ZFS and DTrace, we should dare to innovate. - David Nielsen
