How is OpenSolaris different from SunOS (Sun/Oracle Solaris) anyway?
Isn't the relationship kinda RHEL-CentOS'ish? I.e. one is community-
-supported, and another is commercially.
No. Not even close.
SunOS is BSD based (first 4.2 then 4.3 then with some small amount of
System V code) with a written from scratch vm.
Solaris is sun's do-over based on System V Release 4. It's great leap
backwards. It was a huge slap in the face of the old SunOS crew by inept
management. The final indignity was SunOS 4.1 being rebranded Solaris 1.0,
which was pure marketing...
