Did I just now get that SolarOS was just a pun on Solaris?
- arethuza 14y agoI think the capitalisation and the "4.0.1" was a hint that it's really a pun on SunOS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunOS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunOS
- cantankerous 14y agoI feel like a complete putz for not getting the Sun-Solaris relation until RIGHT NOW.
- adavies42 14y agonext up: SUN stands for "Stanford University Networks" (which also explains why their original ticker symbol was SUNW) solaris is still internally called sunos (and the versioning is the same as the stupid java one, solaris 11 is really sunos 5.11)
