I'm surprised that you've had no responses yet so let's get the ball rolling.
If you just want the ability to run guest operating systems on your lappy using a product that's not difficult to learn, install and use, then I'd be looking at VirtualBox.

NAME
installer - Solaris Web Start installer utility
SYNOPSIS
installer [-locales list] [-nodisplay] [-noconsole] [-debug]
DESCRIPTION
The installer utility invokes a Web Start install wizard sequence which will lead the user through a sequence of installation panels. This
installer utility is found on many CDs that are shipped with Solaris and it will be found among the top level files of these CDs.
When the installer is on a CD being accessed from a desktop file manager, the installer can be double clicked to start the installation
sequence. If the user is not currently the system's root user, the root user password will be requested.
The installer utility can also be run from other UNIX scripts. Usually, a script is used in conjunction with the utility's -nodis-
play option. Add the -noconsole option for non-interactive scripts.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-locales list Selects product translations for install, corresponding to the specified list of locales if the specified locale transla-
tions are present on the installation media. Locales are supplied in a comma-separated list following the -locales option.
An example list would appear as follows:
installer -locales fr,de,it
This would install products with translations for the French, German, and Italian locales.
-nodisplay Runs the install without a graphical user interface. Use the default product install unless it was modified by the -locales
options.
-noconsole Run the install without any interactive text console device. Useful when paired with -nodisplay for non-interactive UNIX
script use.
-debug Outputs extra information about what the install is doing. Mainly for install diagnostic purposes.
