Ldom is a full blown domain, where you can install the version of Solaris that you want as long as it supports beeing a ldoms guest.
Ldoms is more similar to Vmware esx server where you have a server that you create virtual hosts on and then install the OS in them.

A zone is created inside the OS, and runs closly connected to the OS, they use the same kernel etc.

Linux in a ldom should work, see here:

LDOMs can be configured on specific hardware.( Sun T series ) But zones can be configured on any hardware platform including x86.
