Specifically, it's OpenSolaris, presumably at least in part so that
they can use the in-kernel CIFS server that is not being back-ported
to Solaris 10.

Not only is there no normal shell access (though there is a CLI and
scripting API), I was told that attempts to access the underlying OS
directly would "void the warranty".  They seem pretty serious about
this being an appliance sort of thing -- no Solaris expertise needed.
