Solaris 10 Means the OS is Solaris 10 (aka SunOS 5.10)
11/06 Means that this is the specific release of Solaris 10 made in November 2006 (different releases have different bug fixes and features - it's sort of like Windows Service packs... sort of)
s10x_u3wos_10 - Sorry, no idea
X86 This version is compiled for X86 processors (ie the same sort of hardware you can run windows on, as opposed to something like a Sparc architecture).
