Hi Kenny, Ken, Solaris 10 is a shipping UNIX that is based on GNOME 2.6.x with accessibility components from GNOME 2.8.x, our 1.7 branch of accessible Mozilla, and lots of other goodies (details in my blog). But I don't mean to claim it is "the best access to the GNOME desktop" - if I implied that anywhere, it wasn't my intention. It is, to my knowledge, the only commercially shipping accessible GNOME desktop, which is a different statement.
As Bill Haneman noted, Solaris 10 is (of necessity) behind GNOME HEAD, which has yet still more bug fixes, improvements, etc. beyond what is in Solaris 10. Ken - I'm delighted to hear about what will be going into Fedora Core 4. The more (accessible UNIX or GNU/Linux systems) the merrier!
