-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 OpenSSH
, bash, Apache, Sendmail, BIND, gzip, zip, logrotate and most other stuff we used to add.

Linux has copied many of the features of the Solaris kernel and user-space, such as the style of dynamic linking (eg dlopen(3), ld.so, the LD_PRELOAD environment variable), [NFS] and [RPC].
