Didn't they release 7.1 for Solaris/SPARC?

I personally think 7.1 was a *lot* faster than 7.0, at least it is under
Linux on a PC machine.  It's certainly faster than the last Mozilla 1.4
build I got.  Usually Mozilla seemed to be faster than the Netscape
releases, but not this time.

Is the new Gnome browser available for Solaris yet?  It's pretty fast
too, but on my current machine it depends on 59 different libraries.
Ouch.
