Maybe *-sun-solaris3.0. And since they are not that dumb at Sun :-), the next one could be named Solaris G3 Release 2, which would be triplet-ed as *-sun-solaris3.2. So you will end up with the *-sun-solaris2.* series and the *-sun-solaris3.* series and in the middle... *-sun-solaris10. At which point you may want to eat the first Sun employee within your reach :-) I think we'd better keep the current naming [solarisx.y for sunos(3+x).y] for the whole SunOS 5.x series. When the technical guys decide to switch to SunOS 6.x, we'll organize a naming contest :-) -- Eric Botcazou
