Thus spake Edward Chase (echase at postoffice.providence.edu):

> postoffice bash ~ -> cat /etc/release
>                             Solaris 8 s28_38shwp2 SPARC

You may have the first release.  Normally you'll see a date after Solaris 8 on
the first line.  iirc, pre-release and the first release didn't do that.  I
believe s28_38shwp2 is the first release.
