[Sunhelp] Solaris Version Preferance

[Magnus Abrante]

2.6 in that case, 2.6 fixes a lot of annoying bugs that you had
with 2.5.1. Such as network issues, patch issues etc.

Apart from that 2.6 is better on multithreading, its actually
more stable (in my opinion), faster and easier to debug.  

I cant see any reason not upgrade to 2.6, its a lot of fixes in 
that release.

> On Sun4c hardware, run 2.5.1 (fully patched).  It was the best
