That's right. I've been using Solaris for more than a decade because I want to run a System V UNIX(R). If I wanted to run Linux, I would have done so by now. The last thing I want is for Solaris to behave like Linux, set me up with /bin/bash for a default shell (boy oh boy, did that make me mad!) and have GNU junk strewn all over the place in order to make "Linux users feel more at home". /usr/sfw/ is fine where it is, and /usr/gnu is, well, I don't want to say what it is. Oh, and the string that uname(1) returned was the icing on the cake.
