Mike:
Here are my notes:
*SunOS/Solaris Background Information
====================================
"SunOS" is the core operating system comprising the
kernel, utilities and basic libraries. "Solaris" is
the broader environment comprising SunOS, OpenWindows
and networking support. In other words, SunOS is a
component of Solaris. Here's how the versions of SunOS
and Solaris relate to each other:
SunOS 5.3 = Solaris 2.3
SunOS 5.4 = Solaris 2.4
SunOS 5.5 = Solaris 2.5
SunOS 5.5.1 = Solaris 2.5.1
SunOS 5.6 = Solaris 2.6
SunOS 5.7 = Solaris 2.7 (or 7)
SunOS 5.8 = Solaris 2.8 (or 8)
So, for example, when "uname -a" reports that the
server has SunOS 5.6 installed it's actually got
Solaris 2.6 installed
HTH.
