I don't know all the historical details, but up to 2.6 the OS could be called SunOS 2.5.x. After that it was SunOS 5.6 (the major version # jumped 3 notches). Then much later (I might be wrong a bit) you could call it either SunOS 5.6 or Solaris 6, SunOS 5.7 or Solaris 8... SunOS 5.10 / Solaris 10. Again, I might be wrong on the specifics, as I started using Solaris at version 7. Nowadays my OS of choice is SunOS 5.9 as most of the servers I manage are on that platform/version.
