Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Solaris Release Vs. Version
Solaris includes SunOS plus the Openwin environment.
Solaris 2.5.1 = SunOS 5.5.1 plus Openwin 3.5.1 (I could get the openwin version wrong as I don't have access to a Sun box right now).
>>> steve.s.austin_at_xo.com 07/27/01 12:31PM >>> The module that is responding to uname -a is SunOS. This is different from Solaris, but it's confusing why. I guess historically the primary interface was command-line, and not CDE? (i.e. maybe solaris:sunos :: gui:command-line)
Here's a table I found on the web that may help...
SunOS 5.3 = Solaris 2.3 SunOS 5.4 = Solaris 2.4 SunOS 5.5 = Solaris 2.5 SunOS 5.5.1 = Solaris 2.5.1 SunOS 5.6 = Solaris 2.6 SunOS 5.7 = Solaris 7 (aka Solaris 2.7) SunOS 5.8 = Solaris 8 (aka Solaris 2.8)
.. .and before you get too riled up, ask yourself why Oracle 8.1.6 is also known as "8iv2" :)
happy weekend everyone!
Steve

Hi

but still i am not clear about it.
can you clarify.
because in oracle we call version 8.1.7 ...
but here what is the release and version.
can you go more deep?
2.6 is version 6 of oracle
is it any hardware release.
