Correct.  Free opensolaris and support come from opensolaris.org.  If you
want to purchase support, you get it from opensolaris.com

Sometimes there are hardware compatibility issues.  I have not yet seen a
machine that can't run opensolaris, but I have seen machines that need a
little massaging to get it installed... for example ... You might have to
change your optical drive to ATA mode in order to install.  And stuff like
that.
