difference between Solaris and Linux
both are unix based and supports the POSIX API but the kernel implementation is completely different. the Solaris (and OpenSolaris) kernel supports some interesting features not supported by the Linux kernel, like ZFS which is probably the best file system at the moment in any operating system, and Zones which allow you to create lightweight instances of the operating system - similar to isolated virtual machines but with much lower overhead.
