1. how easy is it to install
|
easy if it is going to be the single O/S on the disk
more complicate if you want multi-boot.
As btmiller said, there are more H/W issues on x86/x64, but it's getting better than with previous releases.
yes, CDE and JDS (Gnome based). There are many others available on the companion CD.

1. is the download FREE version of Solaris almost the same as the reatil one, or is it soooooooooooooooooooooo watered down that u cant get nothing done
im looking fordward for Solaris 10 for the auto healing feature

It is exactly the same O/S, no limitations I'm aware.
There are differences depending on what H/W you are running the O/S though, for example the Self Healing features your are mentioning will be first made available on SPARC H/W, and will appear later on x86/x64 on Solaris Express releases.
