Re: [orca-list] Open Salaris is Linux?

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi there

No, Opensolaris is not Linux at all. It's Solaris, which is Sun's flavor of UNIX, and while there are similarities between all UNIX-like systems, Solaris and Linux are very different in many ways.

Hi folks,

 

Is Open Salaris a variant of Linux like Ubuntu et al? The reason I ask is because I'm looking at an open source vertualization tool and it says Linux on one link and then Open Salaris on the other. I thought Open Salaris was a  Linux variant?

 

Thanks
