It may be that your mistake is to believe that "OpenSolaris" is a distro?

The real name of that distro was "Indiana" and Indiana is of course dead.

I am however talking about OpenSolaris.....and this is a generic OS 
classification. SchilliX is the oldest distro based in OpenSolaris, Indiana 
started much later but is also nothing than a distro based on OpenSolaris.

OpenSolaris is still alive....
