 From my experience (i've had identical machines running Solaris-x86 and 
linux next to each other) and from what i've heard from others you'd be 
better off performance-wise to use Linux or a BSD.  If you're looking 
for a way to learn Solaris withouth dropping the cash for sun hardware, 
go for it.  If you want a nice fast workstation,  I'd suggest not using 
Solaris on non-sun hardware. But that's just my opinion, and i'm quite 
sure some will disagree.
