OpenSolaris(.com) was the official distribution of the OpenSolaris(.org) project, released by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Microsystems Sun Microsystems]. It was originally released on the 5th of May 2008, although the OpenSolaris project and codebase dates back to 2005. The final stable release was on the 1st of June 2009 (named 2009.06), with the final preview build being snv_134b, released on the 12th of November 2010, before the distribution was cancelled by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation Oracle] (who has bought Sun Microsystems). This also brought an end to the OpenSolaris project as a whole, as the codebase was no longer updated by Oracle themselves. The project survives however, in the form of [https://openindiana.org/ OpenIndiana], and [https://illumos.org/ illumos].
