One technical difference is that cursor keys and command line editing and completion generally works out of the box in Linux and it generally doesn't in Solaris. I hope OpenSolaris will finally fix that usability issue so that it can lose that "80ies feeling" and be more user friendly.
Changing that for the shells (without having to type magic commands) and for vi would be useful. OpenSolaris vi in gnome terminal regularly misinterprets the cursor keys as their individual characters after ESC.
