Yes, you're right.  Aurora Linux is the best choice as a RedHat
distro. Alternatively we have Debian/SPARC which seems to work fine.

But for some reasons I want to have Solaris environment. I am
developing a software and want to ensure if it works in as much UNIX
environment as possible.

Honestly I'm sick of Solaris. Solaris's poor basic commands always
annoy me. I want to type cp -a or find with no argument and so on.
In Solaris, in order to use those useful GNU tools I have to install
each app each time.
