Okay. Plus all the unsupported WM's from the SFW-Companion_disk (plus from 3rd party repositories like CSW ... ). But my personal experience shows, that too few external people _know_ about those options. SUNW should make more Marketing for the non-supported options, too (and make the 3rd party download links even more dummies-findable, directly when they download Sol10++). Many standard Linux users don't even appear to know, that all the freeware - including KDE - is also available for Solaris. I'm not only speaking of students, but also professors (not CS-profs, but close relatives like Electronics, Physics or Maths). And they are teaching thousands of students, that linux was the best os on earth (they do). When you ask them _why_, they most of the time argue with invalid things like "it has KDE, then it has bash, aehm ...". Expect misinformation to be the default. -- mb _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
