-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 By reading some out of the OpenSolaris forum, it look's like ther can be a changs to bring FreeBSD tight together with OpenSolaris in futuer The comment I like is: "For a great timeline of UNIX developments and ancestry", check out: The original SunOS was based on BSD Unix (4.1). Solaris 2.0 (a.k.a. SunOS 5.x) was the merge between SunOS and the SVR4 sources from AT&T. The merge heavily favored the SVR4 source, so today it's fundamentally a SVR4 system, though it's obviously diverged in a number of areas. You can still find pieces of BSD influence around as well (we even run SunOS 4.x binaries unmodified on Solaris 10). For a great timeline of UNIX developments and ancestry, check out: http://www.levenez.com/unix/ And yes, by the transitive property: OpenSolaris -> Solaris Nevada -> Solaris 10 ... -> Solaris 2.0 -> SVR4 On Wed, Jun 15, 2005 at 10:39:48AM -0600, James Falknor wrote: > To whomever, > From what I understand, Solaris was based upon Unix SysV Rev.4 from > A.T.&T. > > Is Solaris 10 based on Unix SysV Rev.4? > > Since OpenSolaris Source Code is based on Solaris 10, then is > OpenSolaris Source Code based on Unix SysV Rev.4? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCsxC8BG3FBOpOS2oRAhBHAKC22/4eLaLBu5mcslpGoltYlef0JwCeIW8t /MYvUoQEGgRYzSJXv58KTrY= =rDCa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
