I think any Linux version is not equal to SVR4.
I think Sun has done a good Job with Solaris 2.6.
It's a fast and nice Unix that's capable of SMP.
The advantage is, that it runs on three different platforms:
SPARC, Intel and PowerPC. So learning this Unix has the
advantage of learning a modern SVR4 based Unix, that coveres
the three main hardware platforms nowadays ...
