Solaris’ turnstiles
Although Solaris is now mostly defunct, its influence remains substantial; technologies pioneered by Solaris can still be found across a wide range of software
A lot of Solaris' inventions have been described and talked about ad nauseam (such as the Slab Allocator), but one I rarely see discussed is its use of turnstiles.

Did you know that the concept of "OS-tan" has existed way before even ME-tan was made?
Take OS Idol Win-chan as an example. Win-chan's earliest appearance in media seems to be from a promotional CD by Enterbrain, which dates back as early as October 1998. This would mean that Win-chan predates Me-tan by almost 5 years. It's not specified what Windows version she represents.
Another example can be Magical Toko-chan who is from around 1999. She seems to represent BSD, has a theme song called "Rainbow Holy☆Trident" and has a sister that represents Solaris.
There is also also another "Wintel Miku" although there’s little art of her. She seems to represent WindowsNT4.0/95/98 and was created as the creator was inspired by Mgaical Toko.
Besides Win-Chan, Magical Toko, Solaris-Chan and Wintel Miku all have sites dedicared to them!
Toko: http://tokochan.haun.org/

Wintel Miku: https://web.archive.org/web/20000226063048/http://www.quark-jp.co.jp/~hide/DirectGirl/index.asp
Also fun fact, Win-chan was made by the creator of Sgt.Frog and the concept designer for Kemono Friends, Yoshizaki Mine! This can be seen on his profile for his site here: http://mnet.nicomi.com/MINEprofile/YOSPRO.html

An #introduction, having moved permanently from @[email protected] now.
I work in tech in Wales.
I like #bsd, loved #solaris, worked on both #freebsd and #opensolaris mostly on #documentationI like #running, being #outdoors, #warhammer and its ilk, #cake and its many friends.
Musically into #shoegaze, #hiphop, #pavement, #sonicyouth and whatever else was out when I was 14-19.
Actively avoid talking about politics but believe it’s important to be kind and look out for others.
Nervous #dysgwr, be kind.
