Solaris 8 Just to keep people from getting too confused (and since I was confused when I needed to learn Sun's versioning (and because I'm avoiding homework)), here's a quick reference. Anything less than SunOS 5.0 was retroactively named "Solaris 1" by Sun's marketing department when they came out with "Solaris 2". Versions 5.0-5.6 are Solaris 2.0-2.6 Solaris 7 is actually reported as SunOS 5.7 by `uname', and similarly, Solaris 8 is reported as 5.8. Solaris 9 is supposed to be coming out pretty soon, and I presume it'll be 5.9. I have no idea what Sun is going to do when they hit 10, though.. Incidentally, Slackware Linux made a similar big jump (4->7) about a month after Sun did it with Solaris, if I remember right. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Adventure, excitement..
