To make your head really spin - try to keep the various Solaris / Sun Unix versions straight. Trying to manage a site with several versions of Solaris active can be a real headache. Version numbering adds to the confusion when finding appropriate applications and patches.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)/ shows the Solaris vs SunOS version mapping.
Solaris version SunOS version
Solaris10 = SunOS5.10
Solaris 9 = SunOS 5.9
Solaris 8 = SunOS 5.8
Solaris 7 = SunOS 5.7
Solaris 2.6 = SunOS 5.6
Solaris2.5.1 = SunOS5.5.1
Solaris 2.5 = SunOS 5.5
Solaris 2.4 = SunOS 5.4
Solaris 2.3 = SunOS 5.3
Solaris 2.2 = SunOS 5.2
Solaris 2.1 = SunOS 5.1
Solaris 2.0 = SunOS 5.0
Solaris 1.x = SunOS 4.1.x
It is about as bad as the Windows versioning.
