Solaris 10: Can it substitute for SuSE Linux?

[hop-frog]

I believe I have heard several times people complaining that Solaris 10 is just another rebranding of SuSE Linux. I think I have even seen screenshots of it using a rebranded version of YaST2.

As SuSE Linux was recently bought out by Novell, and free versions are difficult to come by, I thought I would move to Solaris 10.

I have some questions for those who have used it:

• Does the installation have an easy to use partition tool that will allow me to keep my MS Windows install and that will create an option for it in GRUB?
• Does Solaris 10 use YaST2 for configuring the system?
• Out of the 5 disks, which ones are needed for the install?

Thanks.
