Sun Solaris 10

I don't know if any of y'all have heard, but Sun has made Solaris a freely downloadable OS!

I haven't messed with Solaris since Version 8, but decided to download it and play a little bit.

Apparently, instead of just being stuck with CDE for a desktop environment, Solaris 10 includes the "Java Desktop" which is based off of Gnome. I think Sun is simply trying to make Solaris more competative as a Desktop OS vs. Linux.

Here is a screenie of the start of Install - I'll post more tomorrow once I get it up and running...

And I AM starting to feel sorry for my poor PC tonight - I swear I see beads of sweat forming on the case :D

Never did get Solaris running - after the install - it just would boot, make VPC's window a funny size and sit there on a Black screen...

Too busy to mess w/ it now...
