Maybe the Perifractic equivalent of the Sun fanworld can buy the Solaris trademark and rename it!

Solaris is still developed and sold by Oracle, and expected to be supported for a very long time. The current version, Solaris 11.4, is planned to be supported until 2037 at the earliest. The previous major version, Solaris 10, was released in 2005 and is supported until 2027. So they are unlikely to sell the trademark any time soon.

Who are still using Solaris though? And I say that as a previous SunOS and Solaris user for a couple of decades. Great technology. That's where I first got to play with dtrace and containers/zones.

		Banks, large institutions and other enterprises all seem to keep the lights on for Solaris. Times I've heard it's time to migrate from with no one willing too and so the swamp just becomes swampier.
