I'm an experience Solaris sysadmin, but I haven't used a current version on the desktop. I'm trying to figure out what software to use.
I've tried nextenta. It works pretty well, but I really want Solaris, not Linux on a Solaris kernel. The best option seemed to be Solaris Express. However it doesn't seem to be a complete enviornment. I've used packages from Sun Freeware with it without problems. But a few things I want aren't there. I had hoped to use Blastwave, but when I loaded Scribus from there, it messed things up badly enough that I had to reinstall. I see that Blastwave doesn't support Solaris Express, so that looks like an unsafe source. At the very least I'd like a development environment. I'm thinking of gcc (which one?) from Sunfreeware. Is that the right choice? Are there other places I should look? I'm a bit surprised not to see an FAQ on this topic. There are lots of pointers to Solaris Express on this site, but nothing on software to use with it.
