Ok, great. Go to the Gigabyte and nVidia sites, and download them. Read the instructions that come with them, as far as installation goes. Each different distro, will probably have different instructions.
Have no idea about Solaris, though...but you could go to Sun's site and look.
Be sure to come back and post any problems you have getting things working, and we'll help you work through them.

What drivers...
Why do you think that you need separate drivers for linux for this motherboard and graphics card?
If linux supports the devices on the motherboard, linux will identify the hardware and load the needed modules when it boots. linux does not use second party drivers the way Windows does.
Nvidia has a propriety driver for its graphics cards that you can install either from the repositories of your distribution or directly from Nvidia.
However, linux will usually boot with the "nv" module for this card and the graphics should function quite well.
You can test linux support by downloading a live-cd and booting it to see whether everything works out of the box or has to be configured by hand.

Download the linux drivers from nvidia's web page. You have to change to root unpack them and run the script that is included and it normally will do everything for you. ( Do this in a xterm or something)

Try ...
You will need to verify what the chip for the ethernet connection is on the motherboard. Use the command "lshw" or "lspci" with root privileges and look for the ethernet interface.
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/lshw/
The specifications for the motherboard lists the chip as an RTL 8111b, but you should look to see what linux finds.
There is a driver here for the RTL8111b.
