My, my. No - actually, all Unix is different... (0.5 :->)
"SunOS" generally refers to a BSD-derived (call it "old style")
OS - Sun no longer produces it as such. Their new (since 1992?)
offering is "Solaris", which is a SysV (ATT)-based, POSIX
compliant OS. *Quite* different from SunOS (technically, SunOS v4
and older; "Solaris" supposedly is the OS (SunOS v5+) + the window
system, but that distinction is mainly for pedants).
The latest is Solaris 7 (the version immediately before that was
2.6 - Sun got jealous of M$'s Win2000, I guess). The last real
SunOS was 4.1.3, IIRC.
So - what's your *real* question? There are lots of differences
between SunOS and Solaris.
