Solaris2.x &nbsp; contain the SunOS 5.x which is AT&amp;T SVR4(System 5 release 4).<br />
The old Unix OS for Sun was SunOS 4.x which is BSD .<br />

SunOS vs Solaris

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
