OpenSolaris
Indiana was a binary distribution of an operating system built out of the OpenSolaris source code. The distribution was a point of integration for several current projects on OpenSolaris.org, including those to make the installation experience easier, to modernise the look and feel of OpenSolaris on the desktop, and to introduce a network-based package management system into Solaris. The resulting distribution was a live CD install image, and was fully permissible to be redistributed by anyone.
