SunOS is a Sun Microsystems implementation of the Unix
operating system. Solaris is SunOS packaged with a number of
additional tools and a graphical user interface (GUI)
environment. Since Sun Microsystems did not offer Solaris
until SunOS 4, SunOS and Solaris have different version
conventions (e.g., Solaris 1 includes SunOS 4, while Solaris
2 includes SunOS 5). To further confuse the naming scheme,
Sun now refers to Solaris by just its point release (e.g.,
Solaris 7, 8, or 9 instead of 2.7, 2.8, or 2.9).
Up through version 4.1.x (Solaris 1.x), SunOS was a heavily
BSD-influenced Unix implementation. However, in the late
1980s, Sun entered into a partnership with AT&T, which was
then developing the other major Unix flavor, System V. The
result was System V release 4 (SVR4), which incorporated BSD
as well as SunOS extensions (e.g., NFS). Subsequently, with
its version 5.x (Solaris 2.x) releases, SunOS shifted from
its BSD origins to SVR4.
