If you've got a decent size disk, you can partition it and install both. One option you might consider is to use Solaris Xvm (Xen) or Linux Xen and/or Vmware to run both in a virtual session. A gig of RAM is a little tight for this, but possible. Alternatively, you can just dual boot and use them one at a time.
I love Solaris. It's very mature in terms of enterprise features and growing rapidly as an end-user system. Also the developer tools (compilers, etc.) are excellent and the Java support is top-notch. But Linux has larger application repositories online and source code for Linux will compile without porting. So they both have some advantages. I say try both and see. It's free.
