Solaris 9 & 10 both do if you do a full installation. /usr/sfw contains
the additional freeware tools included on the OS CD - /opt/sfw is the
software from the separate companion CD. (The Solaris distinction is
that software that comes on the OS CD's belongs in /usr, that which
does not usually goes into /opt.)
