You can install bash on solaris. as easy as typing 123. (it is in form of solaris pkg format).

all of the GNU stuff is on solaris, in solaris pkg format. for solaris x86, you can get what is called SummerTime CD with pre-build hundreds of GNU tools for Solaris, all CDE installed also if that what you want.

right now, GNU tools are everywhere.
