My word 'it' (above) referred very explicitly to Nexenta the operating
system -- not to the NexentaStor embedded appliance based on Nexenta OS
with proprietary extensions.

The reason I referred Jim to Wikipedia's Nexenta OS page was to eliminate
Jim's confusion, by which he inferred that I must have been talking
about an embedded appliance when I spoke of an operating system called
Nexenta.

You aren't helping when you say 'it is kind of both'.  It isn't, and I
took care to be specific.
