Both questions should be easy to answer after just some minutes of searching the web.

Short:

sun.com -> products -> Solaris 10 (Sun has no "editions" like "database server", "small business server", all those things are bundled in separate software packages)
opensolaris.com (OpenSolaris is some kind of "development snapshot" of Solaris 10, serving as an incubator/testbed for new Solaris features)

Ksh vs. other shells:
Different feature sets. Different ways to tell the shell what to do. But today nearly every modern shell in general offers the same concepts/power. For the details get yourself either an appropriate book from the library or compare language documentation on the internet. Be careful with versions/vendors: over their 20 years of existence some shells have changed dramatically (and today do collapse more or less in the same feature set).
