Sun are working on Sun Linux which is being developed for the Blade range. I
know this because a friend of mine is one of the developers on the project
(and he's a FreeBSD committer!) He gave quite an interesting talk at the
last FreeBSD UK User Group meeting regarding the differences between Linux
and FreeBSD and what they could, possibly, learn from each other.

Sun Linux is basically messed about DeadRat.
