[osol-help] Question about version number

[Paul Johnston]

After my last upgrade I get

paulj at opensolaris4:~$ cat /etc/release
                      OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101a_rc1b X86

paulj at opensolaris4:~$ uname -a
SunOS opensolaris4 5.11 snv_101a i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
paulj at opensolaris4:~$

Just wondered what the a_rc1b bit in there version is all about

Cheers Paul
