If I need to use the command line or to edit manually a configuration file to perform a supersimple task like that I would prefer to suicide myself :D If there is a shutdown button I cannot understand why there is no reboot one... I need to use the command line with the "reboot" comand each time I wanna restart the OS...

That's Nevada.  Indiana is the mostly/almost all FOSS Debian-like 
variant which is aimed for network installs and for people who don't 
need all the stuff included with SXDE/CE.

Solaris has traditionally been aimed for UNIX users, unlike Linux, it 
has only been recently that major work has been done to improve the 
desktop experience for it.  It takes time.  Currently, it's using the 
same X.org codebase as Linux and FreeBSD does, and GNOME has been up to 
date with the official one for some time.  I understand your concerns 
though, although you should also keep in mind that there's auditing and 
voting community processes involved with OpenSolaris to keep things 
working, for compatibilities sake.  Solaris has always been one of the 
more stable UNIX systems, as far as keeping programming API's and 
support for a broad spectrum of hardware.  Becoming open-source doesn't 
affect Sun's goals for compatibility, but the community process is 
needed, albeit at times it does slow down progress, for the long-term 
goals voted upon by the board and community.
