Sun JDS Linux was damn good (included Java and StarOffice preloaded, and a cool Gnome theme).
I used (purchased!) both JDS Linux 2003 and JDS Linux R2. JDS Linux R3 was in beta by the time the Solaris militia won the internal battle / turf war and JDS Linux was canceled.
A lack of paying customers had something to do with that too :-( I remember debugging bootstrap loader issues on JDS.
Disclosure: I worked for Sun from 2000-2005, mostly on Linux-related stuff, e.g. http://sosc-dr.sun.com/blueprints/1103/817-4403.pdf It was a great company to work for while it lasted.
