That's not actually true. "SunOS" refers to the kernel and the basic UNIX components -- including ps and sh. The "Solaris Operating Environment" refers to SunOS plus all add-on packaged that they ship: OpenWindows (if present), CDE, volume management software, network management software, etc. > This isn't my opinion, this is basic computer science.
