I've wondering about it. What are your insights?

I guess your question is is Solaris good in front of Linux.

I would say Solaris is amongst the best software that can be built using the the Cathedral model, and Gnu/Linux is amongst the best software that can be built using the Bazaar model.

Depending on your goals, requirements and demands, either Linux, Solaris or both can fit.

I was just wondering from the joe nobody stand point that has not heard much about it just that it was related to sun

Solaris is indeed related to Sun, to say the few.
What kind of insights are you looking for ?

The Chain,,just dive in and try it out.Its a great "unix" os. Its one of a kind!

^ohhh the temptation is too great....kind of like a junkie on heroine!

Well I was wondering jlliagre what are some feautures that make it unique

Here are some unique (or distinctive) features:

Containers (Zones + Resource management)
Predictive self healing:
- Service management (replaces the SysV init.d model, restarts services, handle service dependancy)
- Fault management (automatically offlines faulty components)
ZFS (first 128 bits file-system, fault tolerant, dynamic growing)
DTrace (Kernel dynamic tracing)
Security enhancements (process right management, from the military grade Secure Solaris)
Guaranteed upward compatibility for S8 and S9 compliant S/W.
New high performance TCP/IP stack
Runs linux binaries still maintaining solaris features (zones, dtrace, ...)

and a new logo !

see http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/10/inside.jsp for details.

I would read about it if I were you. Here is the homepage link for Solaris. I've installed it a couple of times on development servers, but never deployed it into a production environment. With all of the features that they're touting, I'm almost tempted. (well, the new licensing too.. free, commercial use.. how cool) ;-)
