I agree, but Solaris grew up under the auspices of a single company, whereas Linux OS's naturally grew in multiple directions from the beginning. Early on, Red Hat, Debian and Slackware, and now, Gentoo, developed differing low-level base architectures. In contrast, the first release of OpenSolaris already includes a standard base architecture.
