What are the differences between Solaris and Linux?

* The first Solaris OS was released in 1983 while Linux was first released in 1991. Solaris OS started as proprietary software and recently moved to freeware while Linux started as open source freeware. * Linux boasts a smaller kernel and its code was rewritten from the ground up while Solaris was originally based on Berkeley UNIX or BSD. With the release of SunOS 5 (see version changes) Sun switched from a BSD based OS to a SRV4 based OS. For a chronological relational list showing 100's of the major names in UNIX see Unix History * In 1991 with the release of SunOS 5, Sun renamed their product Solaris 2 and later releases were versioned 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, etc. Sun again changed the way they versioned their product after 2.6 by dropping the 2 and simply using Solaris 6, Solaris 7, until the current release of Solaris 10. * Solaris was originally a proprietary product and operated strictly on SPARC platforms while Linux operates on x86 platforms. Solaris now supports x86 platforms in addition to SPARC. Solaris also boasts full Linux compatibility Sun.com. * Solaris UNIX is trademarked by The Open Group and Linux is not. Acquiring a trademark is challenging and costly. For more on this see The Open Group. * There is an ongoing debate about what is a "true" UNIX OS and what is a UNIX-like or UNIX-flavor OS. However, there is no official definition that distinguishes between the thousands of products that use UNIX commands and UNIX shells. The only official way to differentiate is by the trademark controlled by The Open Group (see above). For more on the debate see Linux and UNIX Flavor. * POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) is a family of standards to define the API primarily for the various UNIX OS's. However, Windows does provide some POSIX compatibility. For more on this topic see POSIX and IEEE POSIX Certificaton Authority.
