solaris and derivatives, what is that unix?
the difference between solaris and after projects?
hello since few weeks im trying to understand a bit the unix* world, except linux that i know since a while. i discovered the BSD family, now since a little time i hear about solaris, qualified of "unix" on the wiki, instead of unix-like for lot of OSes looks like it's (not far) of being abandonned, due to the oracle's acquisition of sun microsystems (java, OO.org etc), but several remains : -oracle solaris, original -illumos -openindiana i have saw on youtube that openindiana have very few application in it's default install (firefox, thun..) plus is a bit slower than common OS.. i'd like to know, in addition of database management (oracle?), in which usages, in the 2000s (or even after), does solaris-like systems, where used to? thank you |

Solaris is one of the original Unix OSes, it was forked as opensource, hence Illuminos & OpenIndiana, further than that I can't say, as I only twice tried to run it as an OS on my machines...

As an aside - the BSD are descended from the original AT&T in house O/S - as a phone company, they weren't allowed to sell it, so it was cloned by Berkley Software Division (BSD), but there were something like 6 files/programs that had to be re written, because of copyrights, & this is why Linux got a hold, instead of BSD....
