Nexenta Core Platform (http://www.nexenta.org) is targeted at servers. It combines OpenSolaris kernel with Ubuntu (or GNU) userland. It also uses apt/dpkg as the packaging system. A Ubuntu/debian user will feel at home with NCP, and will be able to use all of the advanced capabilities of OpenSolaris. Some KDE packages are present in the repository, but not yet in a state that can be deployed as a desktop. You can however setup XFCE, or minimal GNOME on NCP.
