Errk,
Why? OpenSolaris is Solaris, and vice versa. Try as hard as you might,
for all intents and purposes, those two are one and the same.
No no no no no no no no.
and once more for good measure: no.
If you maintain this sort of mentality, then OpenSolaris will never be a
separate entity. This is exactly the sort of thought we need to get
away from.
Sun Solaris is Sun's distribution of OpenSolaris. Period.
Now I'm confused.
I have a system that I first downloaded by getting the ON consolidation
from:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/
I got the Open Systems/Networking consolidation described as "ON
includes the kernel, networking services and system libraries and
commands."
I've been following a BFU upgrade from those listed at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/
I tell people that I use the OpenSolaris ON consolidation plus updates.
1. Is this what I'm actually using?
2. Does it actually have a formal name?
3. Am I using Solaris Express (but because I haven't noticed it called
this, I don't know that yet)?
Personally, a short explanation of what is at the ON download page, and
what it is officially called, might be useful to some.
I know that it's not "just" a very barebones kernel distribution
[there's *6* CDs - if a barebone kernel installation took*6* CDs I'd be
worried] but it doesn't actually say I have "Solaris Express". I
probably don't - but if I don't what *do* I say I have without confusing
anyone including myself?
