Most common version of UNIX on production systems
I am new to UNIX (about a year) and learning as fast as I can. I am an instructor teaching UNIX and have two labs with Ultra 10 333 MHz, Sun Blade 1000 1 GHz, Blade 100, and Two Enterprise 250 Servers. We are currently teaching our classes using the Solaris 2.10 OS, downloaded in May 2006, I am not sure of the exact release. I have heard that version 10 is rarely used in production systems and that most businesses are using 2.8. If this is the case, should we be teaching students on the OS that they are most likely to be using when they are hired? I am familiar enough with Solaris 2.9 to see some of the differences between 2.9 and 2.10, but completely unfamiliar with Solaris 2.8.
