Would this satisfy your software need: http://www.nexenta.com/corp/ ? It combines the OpenSolaris kernel with the Debian package manager. Personally, I have been using Nexenta on my desktop at home for the last 6 months and have been very satisfied, but the bulk of the dev effort in the community for a while has been on server-side support, so I would bet this latest release is also high quality.
This post will probably be less relevant in 7 months when the OLPC project ships its first units. In a few more years, when this project is in full bloom, then the majority of desktop users in the world (maybe not the US) may very well be running the Linux kernel on their desktops.
