- Sorry, I should have been more precise and said "Solaris 2.n". Most Sun
- sites APPEAR to be running SunOS because they have been able to, but with
- Solaris 2, they will have to begin to address conversion issues because
- a) it is System 5 based and b), one or more of the new machines (not sure
- which) will run ONLY Solaris 2.
