The SX build is supposed to be snv_19. That's what we've done qualification on, tested, release noted, etc.
But unfortunately, we posted the wrong image-- snv_20. I just spoke to the parties responsible, and they are going to fix the download site very soon to be snv_19. If you really must have snv_20, which is more experimental, and has not been as rigorously tested for quality, you can fetch it from opensolaris.org.
We're sorry for the confusion-- and thanks for pointing it out to us.
The difference between "Express" and "Community Edition" is that "Express" gets more testing, docs, release notes and "What's New". "Express" can also be held or not released if it doesn't meet quality criteria. "Community Edition" is basically the same thing we're testing in-house-- potentially less stable., and intended mostly for developers working on OpenSolaris itself.
