What are the differences between Solaris and Linux?
* The first Solaris OS was released in 1983 while Linux was first released in 1991. Solaris OS started as proprietary software and recently moved to freeware while Linux started as open source freeware. * Linux boasts a smaller kernel and its code was rewritten from the ground up while Solaris was originally based on Berkeley UNIX or BSD. With the release of SunOS 5 (see version changes) Sun switched from a BSD based OS to a SRV4 based OS. For a chronological relational list showing 100's of the major names in UNIX see Unix History * In 1991 with the release of SunOS 5, Sun renamed their product Solaris 2 and later releases were versioned 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, etc. Sun again changed the way they versioned their product after 2.6 by dropping the 2 and simply using Solaris 6, Solaris 7, until the current release of Solaris 10. * Solaris was originally a proprietary product and operated strictly on SPARC platforms while Linux operates on x86 platforms. Solaris now supports x86 platforms in addition to SPARC. Solaris also boasts full Linux compatibility Sun.com. * Solaris UNIX is trademarked by The Open Group and Linux is not. Acquiring a trademark is challenging and costly. For more on this see The Open Group. * There is an ongoing debate about what is a "true" UNIX OS and what is a UNIX-like or UNIX-flavor OS. However, there is no official definition that distinguishes between the thousands of products that use UNIX commands and UNIX shells. The only official way to differentiate is by the trademark controlled by The Open Group (see above). For more on the debate see Linux and UNIX Flavor. * POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) is a family of standards to define the API primarily for the various UNIX OS's. However, Windows does provide some POSIX compatibility. For more on this topic see POSIX and IEEE POSIX Certificaton Authority.

What are the installation differences between Linux and Solaris?
Linux is generally easier to install today. I experienced considerable difficulty in my last attempted install of Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 150.
List of the unix based OS?
"Best" is often a matter of opinion, and can be highly subjective. Mac OS X, Solaris 10, AIX,and z/OS are the only major certified Unix operating systems still under development. Mac OS X is the most popular Unix desktop, and Solaris 10 is the most popular one on large servers.
What is the difference between mkuser and useradd command in AIX?
The syntax is the only difference. Both accomplish the same thing and if you compare the man pages of these commands, you will see that they are effectively the same text. useradd is the 'standard' UNIX command for adding users, present on solaris, HPUX, etc. mkuser follows aix specific syntax that uses name,value pairs to define the attributes.
What are file system and command differences in Linux and Unix?
Part of an answer: Every *nix has its own filesystem. Here's some examples. An arrow "->" means "was replaced by". Linux: ext->ext2->ext3Sun Solaris: FFS->UFSBSD: FFSIBM AIX: JFSHP HP-UX: HFSSGI IRIX: EFS->XFSLinux can read most or all of these.

Command for Using in sun Blade 2000 Server?
Sun Microsystem's Solaris operating system is Unix. Solairs comes with virtually every command that is found in other modern Unix systems. Each commercial version of Unix (whether AIX, Unicos, Solaris, HP UX or another) usually has one or more vendor specific commands included that do not appear in versions of Unix from other vendors or in open source implementations. It is doubtful that Sun Solaris has 500 commands that do not appear in some form in other versions of Unix, though as I haven't used Sun Solaris in several years, I suppose this is possible, though unlikely. Typically, the vendor specific commands in various historic versions of Unix have numbered fewer than dozen or two and often have been no more than a handful. IBM's AIX is perhaps the exception to this with probably the most prolific proliferation of vendor specific commands of any commercial version of Unix. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that even AIX has 500 vendor specific commands and likely fewer than 100 or so. [JMH]
What is the latest version of Solaris?
Solaris 10.
