download is free.

I already downloaded it. It is just like ubuntu

It may seem very similar to Ubuntu because the desktop environment is gnome based and they have a lot of the same command line utilities however they are very different in some ways. If you want to learn system administration I would recommend downloading Solaris 10 because you will be more likely to see it in a production environment and it is free to download from Sun.

As the next Solaris release is expected to be based on OpenSolaris, it is not a bad idea to experiment with it too.
OpenSolaris is also much more convenient to install and use on PCs, especially laptops.

I would like to install earlier version of Sun OS. like SunOS 5.6. How can I get it?

Why ? They are no more distributed or even supported anyway.

...and Solaris 6 (SunOS 5.6) wasn't Open Source.

I worked on a sun server. may be SunOS 5.6 or 5.9. Actually I need it for curiosity. I want to install in my PC. Please anyone help me

Maybe you could find and old set of CD's and an old sparc...

It's not available for the PC...

Solaris 2.6 was actually available for x86 PCs. I doubt it would install on modern ones though.

Pls share the link where I can get the older version of SunOS

There is no such link. It was a commercial only product and it is no more sold.
