SchilliX is doing what you are talking about...
SchilliX is a pure OpenSolaris based distro.
As I mentioned, SchilliX is intended to be a distro for people who like to have
Solaris the way they know it and not something that was created for Linux users.

I mentioned many times since Summer 2005 that Distro creators should work
together in order to minimize the effort. I am open for collaboration since I
started to create SchilliX in February 2005.
