openSolaris was more like Fedora is to Red Hat. openSUSE is to SUSE
Enterprise Linux.  If you want Solaris 10 for X84, I have a dvd a
round somewhere, if I remember it is Solaris 10 update 6.  The plan
was for at some point for openSolaris to replace Solaris, but like
anything else good or cool, Oracle has killed it.
