I apologize to everyone I told that Sun made the /bin -> /usr/bin migration in Solaris 2.0 in 1992. While /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin in that release (and every following Solaris release), I just found that SunOS 4.0 documents the change happened in that release in 1988.

☀️ Na data de hoje, mas em 1991, a Sun anunciou que iria substituir o SunOS 4, seu Unix derivado do BSD, por um novo sistema baseado no Unix System V R4. Era o Solaris, que já nasceu como Solaris 2.
A versão mais recente do Solaris foi lançada pela Oracle em maio de 2023.

And finally, we announced dtrace.conf(24) (the DTrace conference)… and we totally didn’t just come up with it on the fly during the show! At the Oxide office in Emeryville, 2024, details to be determined!

Last night @bcantrill and I celebrated the 20th (!) anniversary of DTrace by walking through its history. Thanks to everyone who's used DTrace, ported it to various platforms, filed bugs, filed CVEs, added features, fixed bugs, shown up to dtrace.conf... youtu.be/IeUFzBBRilM

As it's #suntember listening to youtu.be/dkmzb904tG0?t=2897 @scottmcnealy "There haven't been any other computer (server) companies that started after SUN" and @oxidecomputer is on good way I believe
