Why are prople still using prehistoric versions of solaris? I didn't even think 2.6 was 64 bit... in fact I thought 2.7 was the first 64 bit version.

Get this to at least 2.8, preferably 2.9 - Solaris 10 is just coming out, so 2.6 must be over 5 years old by now. That'll give yourself half a chance of getting a reliable platform to work on.
