A big difference is that PDF printers usually produce documents without structure such as a table of contents (bookmarks). Acrobat PDF and I think also OpenOffice can do that because they know the structure (being near the application and not mere printer drivers).
The latest update to Solaris 9 (12/02) does support XRender in the standard X-Server. See the release notes: http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-7173/6md6rliq8?a=vi ew
SEPP is a package management system that allows to separate packages in directories like Stow and similar, but in addition:
solves the distribution problem by allowing to mount packages with NFS and using the automounter to make the applications available under a standard path (/usr/pack/PACKAGE)
provides for each application a wrapper script that takes care of all the necessary environment setup so that users don't need to edit their bashrc
supports installation of multiple versions of the same application by installing version-tagged binaries in addition to the normal binaries. I can for example run mozilla-1.1 or just mozilla, in which case I get the "default" version. This is very important for example for a Ph.D. student that wants to finish his thesis with Matlab 5.3.

Sorry, but you get it yourself wrong...
Solaris is the "distribution" and is versioned 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, 9.
SunOS is the kernel and is versioned 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9.
So, Solaris 9 contains SunOS 5.9 (not 2.9!)

We got the first virus today at about 13:00 (MET +2) and we are now getting about 10 viruses every second:
