Before all of the Linux folks get their underwear in a knot over these comparions, keep the following in mind:
1. They are simply opinions. If you agree, that's OK. If you don't agree, that's OK, too.
2. They are a bit old. The latest appears to be from April 1998 - 8 months ago (an eternity in 'net time). Linux has come a long way since some of these statements were made. (So has *BSD).
3. Linux vs. *BSD, Pepsi vs. Coke, Ford vs. Chevy...the list goes on.

I heard the same rumor from a sun employee last week.
Solaris = Linux++
Look for it to happen within the next year - by then they will have announced Solaris 8.
In case anyone is confused by the new Solaris versioning scheme:
Solaris 2.6
Solaris 2.7 => Solaris7
Solaris 3.0 => Solaris8

And when the emergency personnel arrived, did the couple still have their kidneys?
