Yikes.  I haven't reinstalled the system since I upgraded the hard drives
last, which has been something like 1.5 years ago.  And I haven't reinstalled
the OS (thankfully) on my original SS2 for a long time either.

Now what about compiling apps?
Does everything need to be recompiled?  And is it fine to stay with Sol 2.6?
I don't see any benefit of going to 2.7, except that there's more memory-hogging services
running that don't seem to make a difference, and I was never able to get gcc to work
on 2.7 SPARC (only 2.7 x86).
