solaris and BSD

Solaris 9 is svr4 based but the "Regents of the University of California" thing is displayed on startup so there is at least some stuff in there. I think you'ld be hard pressed to find a popular OS that didn't have at least some BSD code though. Yes this does include Linux though I wouldn't call it BSD derived per se.
Glad to see the author at least had the sense not to be one of those wankers that predicts linux will take over everything and didn't diss solaris (sorry folks but Sun isn't going anyware, though you don't have to like it).
