as a random reminder for those who don't deal with sun... Solaris is SunOS 5.x,
currently 5.9 and now 5.10. To get really confusing, they called it Solaris
2.x up to 2.6 (actually SunOS 5.7), then Solaris 7 was 2.7/5.7

solaris ver sunos ver
Solaris 1.3 SunOS 4.3
Solaris 2.5.1 SunOS 5.5.1
Solaris 2.6 SunOS 5.6
Solaris 7 SunOS 5.7
Solaris 8 SunOS 5.8
Solaris 9 SunOS 5.9

this is nearly as bad as Java versioning.

Java 1.x
Java 2
Java 2.1
Java 2.1.1 -> Java2 release 1.1
Java 2.1.4.2 -> Java2 1.4.2
Java 2.5 -> J2SE 5.0
