But how about the converse? 

Part of the strength of the Linux brand is it's ubiquity.  Just about
every major distribution call its self "Bla [enterprise] Linux".  We
don't see that with OpenSolaris.  Every OpenSolaris distribution has its
own name, even Sun's distributions use the Solaris rather than
OpenSolaris brand.

There has to be a better way of associating the brand with the
distributions.
