Solaris Express Developer Edition is a free, quarterly release of Sun's next generation Solaris Operating System built from the source code repository at OpenSolaris.org. The release includes the latest tools, technologies, and platforms to create applications for the Solaris OS, Java Application Platforms, and Web 2.0. "Major highlights: new Solaris installer - the first major rewrite of the Solaris installer since Solaris 8 makes installation much easier; D-Light, the GUI tool to bring the power of DTrace to a broad developer audience; service offerings have been augmented with the addition of installation and configuration support." Update: Review here.

One has to remember, before the flamefeast erupts, that the installer is still 'work in progress' so don't expect the same degree of flexibility like the old installer. For me, the non-GUI installer I've found is a lot better.
A side note also, Studio 11 is required for compiling OpenSolaris - so you'll need to install that if you plan to fiddle with the source code and expect things compile without issues.
