I think that the feeling about Solaris is that all the Gnome libs are being ported to Solaris and in fact the rumor is that Gnome will be part of the default install for Solaris 9 (or is it 10 now?). Personally, I hated CDE and would love to see it replaced with something prettier and more configurable/customizable (i.e. Gnome/KDE). As a system administrator, I love the idea of having Gnome/GTK+ come pre-installed in Solaris because so much interesting software is coming to depend on these toolkits. Anyway, I don't think Solaris would be the OS with lack of Gnome problems. More likely in that case is soemthing like SCO or DEC/Open Unix, or so I would guess not being a user of either ;-). -- Robert G.
