I thought it was interesting that Linux was completely absent from all of the market position talk.
- nailer 16y agoI think everyone who read 'Solaris is the #1 Enterprise Operating System', raised an eyebrow, then read 'We have more than twice the application base of AIX and HP-UX combined' and chuckled.
- rikthevik 16y agoI read that to say 'Solaris is the #1 (SysV-based) Enterprise Operating System'

- wipt 16y agoLinux IS SysV-based, though
- NonIdentifiable 16y agoEh, what? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V No, Linux is not SysV based.
- nailer 16y agoDepends on whether you mean: - Based on SysV standards - which GNU does for most commands, and which most Linux OSs did for initscripts. - Based on Sys V code, which it obviously isn't.
- wipt 16y agoI didn't mean that it was based off of the original UNIX code base, I know my UNIX history better than that. As nailer said, this can be taken two ways and I meant it in the latter. Linux has elements of SysV - it has run levels and the like, unlike BSD's.
