I don't understand this line of thought. I can't help thinking, why would anyone bother? If you are using DreamWeaver on MacOSX, you are probably not the type of user who would use Solaris at all. Except, maybe, if you are a technical person who occasionaly uses DreamWeaver and its a neat technical stunt to perform. This a question about the Solaris desktop really anyway. If you start saying, "ah, well, you can do that in an OSX install in Xen, or in a BrandZ linux zone", you end up never improving the actual desktop. As I see it, it basically boils down to two types of user. A: 'I need to knock out a quick html page', or B: 'I need to design a whole website with all sorts of bells a whistles'. If user B knows what he/she is doing, realistically, they are going to get a Windows/OSX box with some professional package like DreamWeaver. As much as I would love to see an application like this running natively on Solaris, its not going to happena any time soon. So you are left with user A. Something like NVU is fine in this case IMHO. -Christian This message posted from opensolaris.org
