The most likely scenario; the Solaris version probably includes necessary operating system patches which are normally either bundled seperately or only available for contract customers - I'm also sure there are some 'Solaris only features' that are included with the package as well.

The Sparc distribution is about 500Mb the x86 distribution for solaris is ~300Mb and the linux x86 distribution is about ~200Mb... Why are there so huge differences? Are there way more features for sparc than solaris? Also has anyone tried to install it in Ubuntu?
