Well I am offering to try to do some of the Sun Q&A, since belive it or not 
there is a fair amount of Sun spacific code (as is there freebsd and irix) 
that your tests will never ever exersise on ia32 linux.

What I was hopeing for is we could get platform testers to come forward and 
volenteer a config that they will test so that we can say "Yes KDE does in 
fact run on solaris in config a with version b of solaris"  Currently we have 
nothing like that.

Ill post of kde-solaris to see if we can get volenteers there, hell maby 
someone at sun will even do this :)

After getting killed before over projects that tested great in the lab and 
flopped in the real world, I am very sensitive to makeing sure that even if 
we test okay in our "lab" we can also test in the real world.

Meanwhile ill go trolling the kde-solaris list for people willing to test 
stuff.
