Illumos: OpenIndiana, OmniOS?

[michalszmidt]

As Solaris is discontinued by Oracle, how about adding support for continuation of them, that is Illumos?
Wikipedia says that OpenIndiana and OmniOS are current working distributions.

OmniOs is supported: https://github.com/vmactions/omnios-vm

I will check OpenIndiana soon.

@Neilpang: Nice, good job!

Maybe you can see for:

• https://ghostbsd.org/
• https://midnightbsd.org/
• https://nomadbsd.org/
• https://www.haiku-os.org/
• https://www.puredarwin.org/
• https://reactos.org/

I think it's enough for now. unless there are other demands.

@Neustradamus
GhostBSD, MidnightBSD, NomadBSD are all FreeBSD based.
They may have different user-spaces (but generally FreeBSD binaries with same ABI should work if I'm not wrong), but not that much, to be important.

I really like idea of PureDarwin however development is slow, and if I'm not wrong, some syscalls are not implemented, so this OS is not really in usable state.
Also the working iso they provided is based on EOL version of darwin.
All in all, I don't see any usage scenario.

@Neilpang
I'm also interested in Haiku.

Also I'd propose some Zircon-based distro like FuschiaOS

Maybe also RedoxOS that may positively impact software development for those small project and ChromeOS, despite it's gentoo-based, it has significantly different user-space.

haiku: it's still beta?

Redox, the iso can not install in kvm. just blocked.

let's keep the current for now. If there are other demands, we can review.
