All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate. The official announcement from the kernel mailing list says: So I'm not super-happy with how big this is, but I'm hoping it's just the random timing noise we see every once in a while where I just happen to get more pull requests one week, only for the next week to then be quieter.

Solaris 2.6 (x86) on 86Box with Socket 7 [1996] Solaris 2.6 was released on July 1997 with SVR4 as the base, which makes it compatible with UNIX System V 4.0. This version was the first to provide TrueType fonts, Kerberos 5 authentication, and large file support. As of today, you can obtain the Solaris 2.6 installation (but unbootable!) ISO file here. As we said "unbootable," we mean that you can't just insert the ISO file to the CD-ROM drive and expect Solaris to boot.

Solaris 2.6 (x86, July 1997) is tested on 86Box with Socket 7 [1996]!

Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X (Alpha 1992) on 86Box with i486 [1992] Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X is the first Linux distribution that came up with the concept of the live distribution that came in a single CD-ROM disk. It was named "Plug and Play Linx", which means that this distro automatically configures itself for hardware. In this article, we will be testing the alpha release of Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X that was released on December 1992 with the pre-installed Bochs virtual machine ZIP file while integrating its disk image with 86Box.

Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X (Alpha Test Release, 1992/12) has been tested with 86Box, i486 [1992], and X386.

Solaris 7.0 (x86) on 86Box with Socket 7 [1996] After a very long time due to our focus on Nitrocid 0.2.0 with the Aptivi rebranding efforts, we've come up with something very intriguing for today and tomorrow! As we have evaluated choices, we have chosen Solaris 7.0 (x86 version) as the test subject for today. Solaris 7.0 was released on November 1998 as SunOS 2.7 with SVR4 as the base, which makes it compatible with UNIX System V 4.0.
