Gnome 2.14.x is soon to come out in Solaris 11 nevada. It will be up to Sun if it is added to a Sol10 Update. Bye Bye, Gnome 2.6... It should be a Solaris Express Release. Re: Solaris 10 adoption - Many of Sun's customers would still be using Solaris 8. Earlier versions such as 2.6 would not be uncommon. Many large organizations change their finance system faster then the change the Solaris OS version (they also have windows so they know changes can be bad). They probably dont care so much about the desktop either. I do, thats why I run Nevada. Probably the main decision you have on which release to pick - Solaris 10 - You want stability. It is what Sun certify - Has patch release and quarterly updates. It is what Sun has to support. Solaris Express - Has regular release updates - No patches - Generally well tested features. Any issues are well known. Based on a recent stable Nevada Release. Nevada Community release - Seat of your pants, expect issues - No patches, you are testing with the developers.
