I have not tried it yet but the OpenIndiana project is designated as a desktop distribution of Illumos. SmartOS is based on Illumos as well. OpenIndiana seems promising but I would not set my expectations too high for the desktop experience. However, if you virtualize Ubuntu or another *Nix distribution under OpenIndiana, it may fill some needed gaps.
