Is what comprises "Illumos". To be fair, "Illumos" also contains
OS/Net man
pages now too (where it didn't inside Sun).
Ok, so basically 'the core operatingsystem'?
yep, basically
As of this moment, there are two installable entities (Linux folks
might call
them distros) of Illumos:
So they are Illumos ('the core') plus the rest of the userland then
(in different
flavors/usage targets).. ?
Yes, this is similiar to the different distro in linux. The all share a
core kernel but build different things on top of that..
Illumos on it's own is just source code. It can be built into a distro.
Is this enough to clear some of the confusion? Or am I adding to it.
And if
I got anything wrong here, please chime in.
If my tripplecheck above is correct, then it's crystal clear. If not,
then yes, you
added to it :D
Happy to have you and please feel free to keep asking..
