You can download a DVD image for Solaris from Sun...
As for Linux based (Debian, SuSe, etc) those can be installed off the network. You just need to download the first disk iso to install the base system, then choose a source site to complete the installation.
You'd still be able to boot and get a shell with these, without installing anything.
