Hey Klaus, We use solaris as host AND guest ;)
solaris is slightly different to normal VM systems in that you can't really load up "any OS" into the guest. There are branded zones that support a few flavours of linux (ala redhat, etc). However, in our experience the Solaris OS is really solid for all we need. you can read up alot here - http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/solaris/solaris11/overview/index.html Also there is some really nice network virtualisation you can do too.
