Solaris 10 10-08发布

        Solaris是一份计算机操作系统，它是由Sun Microsystems所开发和拥有的Unix变体。早期的版本基于BSD UNIX并且被称为SunOS。后来，SunOS 5切换至基于System V的代码，并更名Solaris 2以示标志。之前的版本就被追溯命名为Solaris 1.x。在2.6版本后，Sun去掉了名字中的"2."。Solaris由SunOS UNIX的基础操作系统加上一份图形用户环境组成。Solaris主要被设计为在SPARC处理器上运行。还有一个称为Solaris x86的版本，它运行于PC机上。尽管以很多个开放标准为基础，Solaris并不按自由软件授权，而是有专利权的产品。尽管如此，二进制及源码版本都可以在各种时期免费下载。
