Preface

C5™ 2.1 is based on ChorusOS™ Operating System Open Source from Sun Microsystems. This document may contain the terminology 'ChorusOS' where 'C5' should be read. However, in most cases, remaining occurences of 'ChorusOS' and 'chorus' are meaningful in text elements such as pathnames, file names, screens, computer outputs.
