Sun Microsystems seemed to care about Solaris versus SunOS branding...
|
|
|
|
Solaris also has a fork named Illumos, which is free (but not GPL-compatible)
|
|
software and which has behavior close to that of Solaris 11.
|
|
See <https://illumos.org>.
|
|
|
|
Here is a mapping table that maps the `uname -sr` values to the marketing names.
|
|
|
|
SunOS 1.x == SunOS 1.x
|
|
SunOS 2.x == SunOS 2.x
|
|
SunOS 3.x == SunOS 3.x
|
|
SunOS 4.0 == SunOS 4.0
|
|
SunOS 4.0.x == SunOS 4.0.x
|
|
|
|
Starting with 4.1.1B of SunOS we have the 'Solaris 1.0' release.
|
|
|
|
SunOS 4.1.1B == Solaris 1.0
|
|
SunOS 4.1.1.1 == " "
|
|
SunOS 4.1.1_U1 == " "
|
|
SunOS 4.1.2 == Solaris 1.0.1
|
|
SunOS 4.1.3 == Solaris 1.1A
|
|
SunOS 4.1.3B == Solaris 1.1B
|
|
SunOS 4.1.3C == Solaris 1.1C
|
|
SunOS 4.1.3_U1 == Solaris 1.1.1
|
|
SunOS 4.1.3_U1B == Solaris 1.1.1B
|
|
SunOS 4.1.4 == Solaris 1.1.2
|
|
|
|
The SunOS 5.x uname output maps to the Solaris 2.x numbers through 2.6.
|
|
|
|
SunOS 5.0 == Solaris 2.0
|
|
SunOS 5.1 == Solaris 2.1
|
|
SunOS 5.2 == Solaris 2.2
|
|
SunOS 5.3 == Solaris 2.3
|
|
SunOS 5.4 == Solaris 2.4
|
|
SunOS 5.5 == Solaris 2.5
|
|
SunOS 5.5.1 == Solaris 2.5.1
|
|
SunOS 5.6 == Solaris 2.6
|
|
|
|
After SunOS 5.6, they started numbering based on the second digit.
|
|
|
|
SunOS 5.7 == Solaris 7
|
|
SunOS 5.8 == Solaris 8
|
|
SunOS 5.9 == Solaris 9
|
|
SunOS 5.10 == Solaris 10
|
|
SunOS 5.11 == Solaris 11 or Illumos
|
|
|
|
The common terminology is to use the name "SunOS ..." to designate SunOS 2.x,
|
|
3.x, 4.x, and "Solaris ..." or "Illumos" to designate SunOS 5.x.
|
|
|
|
Most of these operating systems are obsolete. As of 2024-02-17 only
|
|
Solaris 10 and 11.3 (both end-of-life January 2027) and Solaris 11.4
|
|
(end-of-life November 2037) are supported by Oracle and are therefore of
|
|
practical porting concern for GNU applications. For the current list, see
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Version_history>.
