@nil that I know some 7 Systems that are still up and running in production?

  • Sadly I can't tell you where exactpy, but the company that does have them pays very well for anyone able and willing to upkeep those.

@kkarhan @nil I once got an offer to maintain some software running on Solaris 9 systems.
I'm a huge fan of Solaris but I chose to decline the offer despite the fact that it involved a then-outdated version of my beloved System V flavor.
If I accepted, I guess a lot of things in my life would be very different. I was more excited of the future of Sun products — a future that I didn't know was already doomed.
I should finally start contributing something to OpenIndiana, though.

@dmbaturin @nil yeah, ruined ...

  • as successor prokect hosever seems to still be up and running tho.

And yes, you ain't the only ones disappointed.

  • Been at places that did computing for and they were originally like fanboys who still had millions in & invested until Oracle backstabbed them.

Nowadays they run ...

@kkarhan @dmbaturin @nil $dayjob migrated desktops from Solaris thin desktops to Linux about 1-2 years ago. Still a few Solaris machines in the background I think, though not sure how many left.
