TuxRadar: "Like Mac OS X, which we looked at recently, OpenSolaris is based on Unix; also like OS X, it's best known for running on a specific processor (in this case Sun's SPARC architecture) but now works on a range of architectures including x86.

Unlike OS X though, OpenSolaris is open source, so you can download it for free and start fiddling with it."
