At the moment, we couldn't seriously consider building TurnKey on top of OpenSolaris based technology, at least not exclusively. Unfortunately the future viability of the communities supporting that technology is uncertain. IMHO, it's much more likely that Linux will close any remaining technological gaps than OpenSolaris and its descendants will catch up in terms of the adoption and mindshare critical for their continued long term existence.
Had Sun moved to open source Solaris a decade earlier, I'd probably by writing this on an OpenSolaris base system. Unfortunately, once they realized Linux was disrupting their business it was too late to catch up. The train had left.
Once Oracle bought up Sun the future stewardship of Sun's open source efforts became even more uncertain. Oracle, true to their culture, didn't take too long to squash the fragile open source communities around Sun's "too late, too little" open source efforts.
OpenSolaris is dead, long live Illumos !
