Joyent did most of the hard work here with LX -- credit where due, please. :)

By integrating it into OmniOS, though, you get the improvment of a fully-working global zone (where many sharing services can only function... e.g. no NFS in an NGZ currently) with the capability for closer-to-native Linux services (not as much running KVM in a zone now, for example).

Thanks for the napp-it update!
