SunOS is the kernel; Solaris is the "operating environment" (that's about the 
best description I;ve heard and it makes vague sense, regardless of what 
marketing drones say). It's like Linux vs. GNU/Linux :)

I was quoting what the bod said in comp.unix.solaris regarding Solaris 2.8 
.. I only plonked it verbatim as maybe there was summat I didn't know, even 
though my mind was saying "don't be silly; Sun dropped the 2 point for 7 
onwards".
