I'm aware of what the Solaris kernel reports itself as. I know that there are bits of what is now called Solaris that are also called SunOS. Mostly though, when people refer to SunOS, they are tending to refer to the BSD- derived OS from Sun which is SunOS <= 4. Solaris is much more System Vish in many ways. And I *haven't* seen a SunOS install in that long. I've seen lots of 2.6 (not much 2.5.1 anymore), and 8 and 9 (surprisingly not much 7). I don't necessarily agree that everything that isn't the latest and greatest must be best (an opinion which David appeared to be ascribing to me), but I haven't seen a BSD-ish SunOS in about that long. I'd be surprised if many useful installations of it actually existed in the real world. > You could give the benefit of the doubt on that one.

I provided evidence to back my position up, it's carefully thought out, even if not typed out. -- Lusercop.net - LARTing Lusers everywhere since 2002
