It gets confusing because OpenSolaris (the project) currently produces
two distributions, one of which is also called OpenSolaris. I think your
options are

Solaris 10 (the real deal, latest release was 4/15/2008)

Solaris Express Community Edition (also called Nevada, biweekly release
of the parts of Solaris that Sun released as free software)

OpenSolaris (formerly called OpenSolaris Project Indiana, twice-yearly
release that incorporates major changes not in Solaris)
