You state in your post that Solaris systems and Linux systems behave completely differently when a parent process terminates without waiting for its children to terminate and then ask if they behave differently when a parent process terminates without waiting for its children to terminate??? Although I find it hard to believe that many of the differences that you stated as facts are true; if you believe that those facts are true, I do not understand why you are asking the question.
Is this a homework assignment?
What code are you running that exhibits the differences you are seeing on Solaris systems and Linux systems?
What Solaris release(s) are you using?
What Linux distribution(s) are you using? Which version(s) of those Linux distribution(s) are you using?

EXIT(2) System Calls Manual EXIT(2)
NAME
_exit - terminate a process
SYNOPSIS
_exit(status)
int status;
DESCRIPTION
_exit terminates a process with the following consequences:
All of the descriptors open in the calling process are closed. This may entail delays, for example, waiting for output to drain; a process
in this state may not be killed, as it is already dying.
If the parent process of the calling process is executing a wait or is interested in the SIGCHLD signal, then it is notified of the calling
process's termination and the low-order eight bits of status are made available to it; see wait(2).
The parent process ID of all of the calling process's existing child processes are also set to 1. This means that the initialization
process (see intro(2)) inherits each of these processes as well. Any stopped children are restarted with a hangup signal (SIGHUP).
Most C programs call the library routine exit(3), which performs cleanup actions in the standard I/O library before calling _exit.
RETURN VALUE
This call never returns.
