Great job!

Please host the SPARC build as well. A few things to note:

1. Evince
2. Ekiga 
3. Evolution
4. Totem
5. SeaMonkey browser suite

Notes:
1. I've been using Evince whichis pretty good for most PDF/PS viewing tasks, 
yet have hit a few issues with docs built with recent Acrobat products. Adobe 
Reader 7.0 is preferred in those cases.

2. Evolution - latest versions work pretty well. Oddly, we have the Thunderbird 
email client so I guess its user preference - yet a best of breed approach 
would help in maintaining multiple versions of the similar tools (i.e. email 
clients).

3. Totem - should have a way to use licensed decryption libs without much grief.
Training and multimedia have come in encrypted form with makes it useless to 
us, in a corporate realm, if tools like Totem don't allow it.

4. Browsers - although Firefox 1.5 is well known, SeaMonkey provides the 
overall suite of browser tools. Again, matter of choice. Epiphany compatibility 
with the latest Firefox/Seamonkey needs review.

5. Ekiga 1.99.1 -  need more review on this as students are developing webcam 
drivers for Solaris and looking for efficient web conferencing VoIP tools. 
Ekiga is a very promising tool in relation to previous Skype tools so this 
could be another icebreaker for the JDS team.
