How do I determine the Solaris version (2.6, 2.7, etc.) installed on a machine running Sun OS 5.5.1 and OpenWindows 3.5.1?
"uname -a" returns the above 5.5.1 info
 
SunOS 5.5 = Solaris 2.5
IBM Certified Specialist - MQSeries
IBM Certified Specialist - AIX 5 pSeries System Administration
 
Sun OS 5.x.x is the same as Solaris 2.x.x.
Sun OS 5.8 is Solaris 8.

Alternatively -

# more /etc/release

There are couple of ways to find out the version:)
1. See the MOTD (If its not changed from default one) after logging in.
2. uname command
3. /etc/release file
