Best Linux Name Change |
|
Best Linux - name change and product release. There can be many reasons to change a product name, but this is one of those more entertaining reasons given by the Finland-based Linux distributor: "Changing the name back to good old SOT Linux is now possible, as Sweden is no longer our primary market focus. Several years ago we were obliged to change the name from SOT Linux, because the word 'sot' means 'disease' or 'soot' in Swedish, neither of which were considered desirable by our marketing department." The new release, SOT Linux 2002, comes in two editions, desktop and server - the desktop edition's ISO images are provided as free downloads: SOTL_2002_DESKTOP.iso (627MB). You can also get the retail version for €79 (US$70) which includes documentation and support - visit the distribution's webshop to order. Our Best/SOT Linux page has been updated and promptly renamed.

Oracle Solaris
Solaris is a computer operating system, the proprietary Unix variant developed by Sun Microsystems. Early versions, based on BSD UNIX, were called SunOS. The shift to a System V code base in SunOS 5 was marked by changing the name to Solaris 2. Earlier versions were retroactively named Solaris 1.x. After version 2.6, Sun dropped the "2." from the name. Solaris consists of the SunOS UNIX base operating system plus a graphical user environment. Solaris is written in a platform-independent manner and is available for SPARC and x86 processors (including x86_64). Starting from version 10, the Solaris licence changed and the product was distributed free of charge for any system or purpose, but after the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle in 2009, the product is once again proprietary with a restrictive licence.
