If you buy your OS from SMCC it is called SunOS 4.X or SunOS 5.X, if you get
it from SunSoft it is Solaris 1.X or Solaris 2.X. The latest releases of
these OS's is:
1. SunOS 4.1.3_U1 or Solaris 1.1.1
2. SunOS 5.3 or Solaris 2.3 with Solaris 2.4 due real
soon now.
Take all the above with a grain of salt. I am relatively new here at Sun,
and this is how it looks to me. It has taken me awhile to get comfortable
with this confusion. We have documentation and references to these OS's
under all of the pseudonyms listed above, and a few other internal names
just to make life more interesting.
