  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.
       
          Sun claim that Solaris is not just an operating system but an
          "operating environment".
       
          Solaris 1.x was a retroactive (marketing?) name for SunOS
          4.1.x (where x>=1).
       
          Solaris 2.x (which is the first version most people call
          "Solaris") includes SunOS5.x, which is an SVR4-derived Unix,
          OpenWindows 3.x, and tooltalk.
       
          Version 2.7 ("Solaris 7") was around in 1999-03-02.  Version
          2.8 was released in June 2000.  Current version: 9, as of
          2002-07-15.
