5 JohnMcPherson 1 Solaris is an "industrial-strength" version of [UNIX] made by SunMicrosystems, who also make hardware. It's available for both Sun [SPARC] processors and the x86 architecture.

5 JohnMcPherson 3 The core operating system is called [SunOS], and the addition of network services like NIS and [NFS] and the X Window system makes up Solaris which is numbered 2.x following [SunOS] 5.x up until 2.6. After that Sun dropped the "2." to lessen the confusion and just called it Solaris 7 (based on SunOS 5.7). From Solaris 8 it started to contain more and more open source software to make it easier on the sysadmin. Solaris 9 comes with Open[SSH], bash, [Apache], Sendmail, [BIND], gzip(1), zip, logrotate and most other stuff we used to add.
