Around 2000 or so, I used to work in tech support for a software company who had like 5000 Windows-based customers and 5 running Solaris. My boss chose me to learn Solaris when the previous “expert” left. I bought this book and started hacking. Good times!
Solaris is actually kinda cool now. It was based on a great OS and actually has been improved since.
We can’t do much about who owns it, but I’m glad to see someone’s looking after it – unlike when IBM found the loophole and reverted AT&T Unix ownership back to novell to just rot. Good job.
