Not sure why you're crying about SXCE, but "Java Desktop" is actually just a plain Gnome that runs now faster on OpenSolaris. :-) StarOffice is what you can get from http://www.openoffice.org/ and your Citrix stuff is here: http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3283&productId=186&c1=sot2755&c2=ost12725 SXCE and OpenSolaris is not the same thing. I personally happy it gone, because now everybody will stay focused on OpenSolaris fixing. What to do next for you? Blow away SXCE, reinstall with OpenSolaris and have fun. NOTE: Obviously, you should try it on VirtualBox if it all works for you, as for the starter... :-) -- Kind regards, BM Things, that are stupid at the beginning, rarely ends up wisely.
