file system type: they can be the same (fat), similar (ufs vs ext3) or quite different (xfs, zfs, reiserfr, whatever)
file system layout: they are only similar.

2. Is in Unix directory for administrator "/root" - like in Linux - Ubuntu or not?
This is not a common Solaris practice. Root's home directory is traditionally and by default the root directory "/".

3.Where is the users directory in Unix? Is it /home/(username)?
Yes. That's the traditional user home directory. Note that Solaris is by default having this directory being handled by the automounter to allow flexibility in actual data location.

I know that OpenSolaris is Unix base OS from System V, so I download their live CD. Their file system are similar to Ubuntu. Except that I don't see the home directory.
Please elaborate. What says:
Code:
id
echo $HOME
ls -la $HOME

args [options] args... DESCRIPTION
This command is used to manipulate and echo command line arguments to standard out. This can include adding quotes around each argument passed or a separator, or to output each argument on a separate line. The program source also offers a basic example of how to use shell argument parsing and localization in ucommon. OPTIONS
--delim=char Set a deliminator character, such as ',', to use between each argument when outputing arguments. --directory If argument is a directory, list directory contents as arguments. --follow If argument is a directory and a symlink, follow symlinks recursively. --lines Output each argument on a separate line. --quote=char|pair Set a quote or special leading and trailing pair of characters to surround each argument with when output. A typical use might be --quote=() to surround arguments in parenthesis. --recursive If argument is a directory, recursively scan directory and any subdirectory contents as arguments. --reverse Reverse order of arguments. --help Outputs help screen for the user.
