Did I just now get that SolarOS was just a pun on Solaris?

I think the capitalisation and the "4.0.1" was a hint that it's really a pun on SunOS.

I feel like a complete putz for not getting the Sun-Solaris relation until RIGHT NOW.

next up: SUN stands for "Stanford University Networks" (which also explains why their original ticker symbol was SUNW)

solaris is still internally called sunos (and the versioning is the same as the stupid java one, solaris 11 is really sunos 5.11)
