Let me say I like Solaris but it is not bsd based it is System V based with a bunch of bsd tools in /usr/ucb and usr/ccs/ now if you want to
talk about SunOS then it was bsd based but sun has killed the product 
off in favor of Solaris.  And when you talk about Sun today you talk 
about Solaris.  And I have an ultra 60 at home.
