Goodness, the #Unix 32/V, #BSD 4 & #OpenSolaris versions of ps.c are so completely different. It’s clear there’s been a complete rewrite for Solaris, but who knows what happened between Ancient Unix and System V R4. I could probably get tapes, then again I might not be able to.
It’s also clear how different these systems’ features and kernel representation of processes were.
UNIX 32/V: https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Bell-32V-Snapshot-Development/usr/src/cmd/ps.c
BSD: https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/BSD-SCCS/usr/src/bin/ps/ps.c
OpenSolaris: https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/7c478bd95313f5f23a4c958a745db2134aa03244/usr/src/cmd/ps/ps.c

Tho it's not as if @SUSE and @ubuntu could've made better offerings before, and I still think that unless one has a harsh #Vendor #LockIn #Ubuntu and @opensuse are the better options.
I just wished #SUSE and espechally #Canonical were more commited of building good distros than weird shite like this...
Not that I excuse RedHat from doing an #Oracle #OpenSolaris with #RHEL! @SolarisDiaspora

566 followers · 2413 posts · Server mstdn.ioTodo bien con que Oracle quiera mantener su distro Linux abierta y disponible para todos, pero convengamos que Oracle tiene sus intereses corporativos, y que en el pasado no hizo las cosas del todo bien con la comunidad de #OpenSource, basta recordar lo que hizo con #OpenSolaris, #MySQL y #OpenOffice.
Con un poco de humor, yo creo que, si Oracle pudiera, compraría a RedHat para cerrarlo 😅

With #Oracle basically killing #OpenSolaris and chasing away all the #Sun-era #FLOSS #devs and #projects, it's basically a statistical anomaly, not even a "rounding error"...

I guess only @Raspberry_Pi's documentation makes a #Pi400-Port feasible longterm.

I have that old #OpenSolaris #DVD flying around somewhere tho...
Maybe I should make some weird software stuff like @ncommander and fiddle around with such legacy stuff...

638 followers · 25168 posts · Server mstdn.socialMaybe I should try out some #OpenSolaris forks like #OpenIndiana running the #Illumos named fork of the #Solaris #Kernel...

OpenSolaris was the last UNIX I used as my daily driver, during my OSUM Java nerd days.
