My operating system is Windows 7. I am new to Unix. I want to install Solaris 10 on VirtualBox.
I have installed VirtualBox 5.1.14.
I have also downloaded Solaris 10 1/13 as sol-10-u11-ga-x86-dvd.iso.
Now in VirtualBox I am trying to create a Virtual Machine. In the "Create Virtual Machine" window, when I select "Solaris" as "Type", then there are 2 options available as "Version" which are:
- Oracle Solaris 10 5/09 and earlier (32-bit)
- Oracle Solaris 10 10/09 and later (32-bit)
I am confused which option to select which matches with the Solaris 10 1/13 I have downloaded?
What is the meaning of 1/13 and 5/09 and 10/09 for Solaris 10?
Thanks
You can generally look up the release with update number (e.g. 10 u11) in a table to find the month/year of that release. However that release is too new for the table I normally use (https://trent.utfs.org/wiki/Solaris/Releases), but the one on the Solaris wikipedia page mentions that Solaris 10 "u11" is 1/13 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Version_history.
