It's April Fool's, and a "fix" came across the Sun Nevada putback alias with the following change:

--- /ws/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/os/vers.c Sun Jun 12 07:45:08 2005 +++ vers.c Tue Apr 1 20:55:28 2008 @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ */ #include struct utsname utsname = { - "SunOS", "", UTS_RELEASE, UTS_VERSION, UTS_PLATFORM + "HoosierOS", "", UTS_RELEASE, UTS_VERSION, UTS_PLATFORM };

Still not getting it? Think "Hoosier Daddy?"

:wq

Comments:

Well, luckily the perpetrator of this prank had more sense than to actually make this change to the code base. The actual prank was spoofing the putback notification.

Absolutely! Tried to imply that with "fix" in quotes, but thanks for clarifying.
