[Sunhelp] SUN OS 5.6 and Solaris 2.6

[Jarrett m Carver]

    According to a Sun doc I came across Solaris is a marketing name for
SunOS.  Each version of solaris has a SunOS version equivelent name. They did
the name swap for marketing and to mark the change from the BSD based SunOS to
the SystemV Solaris.
