illumos has a Solaris heritage, certainly -- but has evolved quite a bit in the last ~12 years. For details of the history, see my LISA 2011 talk.[0]

I know next to nothing about OSs, but I'm a big fan of your talks by the by.

"Coming of Age" and the "Don't Anthropomorphize Larry Ellison" talk are especially great.
