Tutorial Details:

From the outside, Solaris and Linux are both UNIXâ„¢ operating systems. They share the same basic structure, use similar or identical commands and configuration files, and support the same style of programming. But inside, the differences are deep. Solaris descends from the original code written at Bell Laboratories and UC Berkeley. The fact that its entire development team works at Sun means that Sun can establish standards for consistency, code review, documentation, and compatibility. Its association with Sun hardware means that Sun has the incentive and means to innovate in ways that are difficult in the more diffuse Linux world. Linux is not an operating system, but a project. Linus Torvalds and a diverse, international group of designated maintainers develop the Linux kernel. The maintainers work at different companies, each with different agendas and priorities, but the central guidance provided by Torvalds maintains direction and focus. Distribution vendors integrate the Linux kernel with large suites of other software to create the actual operating systems that end customers use.
