The way I remember this, the first release that bore
the "Solaris"
name when released was 2.5 . Before it was called SunOS, of which
the last release was 4.1.4 if I remember correctly. After Solaris 2.5,
the previous SunOS 4.x releases were renamed "Solaris 2.4". I think
that the list of releases that I played with at one point or another
is as
follows:
SunOS 4.1.1 Rev B
SunOS 4.1.4, aka Solaris 2.4 (or was it 4.1.3?)
Solaris 2.5
Solaris 2.6
Solaris 2.7
Solaris 8
Nono, definitely not. SunOS 4.x is also known as Solaris 1.x.
Solaris 1.1.2 is SunOS 4.1.4. All Solaris 2.x releases are the
SysV-based stuff that current Solaris descends from.
Solaris 2.3 was released (and rammed down our throats) by Sun,
although it was so slow and unstable that it didn't enjoy widespread
acceptance. Thank heaven. I don't know if 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 ever saw
the light of day, but I never saw them. My company had test machines
running 2.3 (and subsequent releases) from when that version was
released.
