Or sever/desktop... We went through this w/E10000 - it was (and still is, TMK) 
running 2.6 while desktops were all upped to Sol 7 because we thought at the 
time E10K was right after that.  It stayed at 2.6 (apps), and then we had to 
make sure all compiles were on 2.6 so it could run on both 2.6 and 7.  It's a 
pain to upgrade an E10K, I know...
