Solaris and SunOS version numbers

• from Wikipedia:

Matching a SunOS 5.x release to its corresponding Solaris marketing name is simple: each Solaris release name includes its corresponding SunOS 5 minor version number. For example, Solaris 2.4 incorporated SunOS 5.4. There is one small twist: after Solaris 2.6, the "2." was dropped from the Solaris name and the SunOS minor number appears by itself. The latest Solaris release is Solaris 10 and incorporates SunOS 5.10.

in particular:

               solaris 10 (sometimes maybe Solaris 2.10) <-> SunOs 5.10 
               solaris 8 (sometimes maybe Solaris 2.8) <-> SunOs 5.8
