As for continued support, Symantec supports one major revision back. So, currently with 6.x (6.0 and 6.5), 5.x is also supported. There's an updated support statement which you can find here:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290017.htm
I couldn't put my finger on anything that talked about 6.0/6.5 end of support life, but would expect such a statement after the next major release.
Im just reading through documentation and apparently Solaris 8 as a client isnt supported under NBU 6.5 so that rules that out as the infrastructure is still ruinning Sol8. Bit harsh me thinks.
Thing is unless we go to 6.5 the customer will be paying lots for 6 and then in a years time when 7 comes out 6 will be no longer supported as i beleive NBU only goes 1 level back for support?
