This view -- which lots of people seem to share -- raises an interesting 
ambiguity:

Production Solaris 10 servers generally _don't_ have the GUI commands in 
/usr/bin.  That's because they are based on the lightweight, server 
"version" of Solaris 10 -- which is to say they are based on the 
SUNWCreq installation cluster (or better yet, the new-and-improved 
SUNWCrnet).

For more details on SUNWCreq and SUNWcrnet, click on the link below and
