  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  Solaris 
 
    {Sun  Microsystems  Inc.}'s  version  of  the 
  {Unix}  {operating  system}.  As  well  as  the  core  operating 
  system,  Solaris  inludes  networking  software,  the  {Java  Virtual 
  Machine},  the  {CDE}/Desktop  that  includes  an  {X11}-based 
  {windowing  environment}  and  {graphical  user  interface}. 
 
  Solaris  1.x  was  a  retroactive  (marketing?)  name  for  {SunOS} 
  4.1.x  (where  x>=1). 
 
  Solaris  2.x  (which  is  what  most  people  mean  by  "Solaris") 
  includes  SunOS5.x,  which  is  an  SVR4-derived  Unix, 
  {OpenWindows}  3.x,  and  {tooltalk}. 
 
  Sun  claim  that  Solaris  is  not  just  an  operating  system  but  an 
  "operating  environment". 
 
  Current  version:  2.7  ("Solaris  7"),  as  of  1999-03-02.  2.8?
