| So, WHAT exactly do I need to download to have an up-to-date functional 
Solaris with compiler tools, and where can I download it?

 http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/
 http://dlc.sun.com/osol/opensolaris/2008/05/os200805.iso
 http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/os200805.iso.torrent

 $ pfexec pkg refresh
 $ pfexec pkg install sunstudioexpress

GCC is also available.

If you decide to update 2008.05 to the development build, please
be sure to read the release notes when upgrading:

Specifically this page:

Cheers.
