Well ... if you want to use in a daily basis for desktop use, go OpenSolaris. If you want to use for server experience for future jobs then go Solaris 10 because opensolaris has the latest technologies in it which in time will end up in Solaris 10. But until then it takes a while, I would say 6 to 12 months.
It's up to you know to decide what you want it for. As for me I use SXDE in laptop. :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
