Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Solaris Release Vs. Version
2.6 = Version 6
2.7 = Version 7
The 2 can safely be ignored, it is in fact replaced with a 5 now after version 4.
So it is really 5.7 and 5.8.
The major version is the right hand number, not the left. Very weird naming convention.
