Even prior to RedHat and SuSE for some reason System V-based systems were deemed more suitable to business, at least by Sun Microsystems. I stand corrected based on beef's comment below: they migrated from BSD to Sys V as part of Solaris aka SunOS V. I was misremembering their adding streams support to SunOS 4 as the big switch but I was wrong about that.
- dleslie 7y agoSun probably had a good sales team. ;)
- beefhash 7y agoSunOS 4 was still BSD-based. You can find the source code for SunOS 4.1.4 on TUHS's code comparison site[1], but for some reason, you can't browse the tree. Solaris was when Sun made the jump to System V. AFAIK part of that was because Sun had financial difficulties at the time and AT&T offered to help them -- in exchange for Sun to rebase on System V.
