The spiritual successor for Sun machines is Oxide (lots of ex-Sun folks). And Sun got acquired by Oracle so it’s still technically around on the software side via virtual box and Java.
- markus_zhang 2y agoI love Oxide's podcast. I checked its career page a few times but they are only hiring for field sales.
- snovymgodym 2y agoThat's the point though. What's left of Sun is basically a startup founded by a few ex-employees, some open-source software, and the rest of their IP being milked by Larry Ellison.
- zabzonk 2y agoNeither SunOS or Solaris were open source, or based on open source.
- snovymgodym 2y agoI'm not talking about SunOS or Solaris. I'm talking about Java, dtrace, OpenZFS, and a various other random bits of Sun legacy still floating around in modern open-source systems.
- mmooss 2y agoWasn't SunOS essentially a flavor or distro of Unix?
