Yea, I have seen that...but I would have to install that after having had gnome 
installed from the installer. Again, we need more flexibility up front during 
the initial installation so that we can meet our objectives without having to 
hack and re-engineer the original install. Surly there are some Sun fans who 
would rather start with a small base and choices that suite their needs and 
roll their own afterwards. If Sun is really serious about being open sourced 
and pushing into that niche, rich community then they are going to have to put 
the power in the users hands such as that of debian, gentoo, freebsd etc.. 
instead of making choices for us. The latter is why the open source community 
exists today because people got tired of corporations making fundamental 
decisions for us. Like Microsoft, you cant choose to have IE not be installed 
if you know that you will be using Firefox or maybe opera. 

Thanks for your time Tunla, I look forward to learning and playing with 
Solaris. Also is compiz fusion + xfce with nvidia run decent on opensolaris. I 
want to try and get the same desktop that I have on my Gentoo setup with 
opensolaris. Is there any specific book you would recommend for learning 
solaris/opensolaris so that I can support it in a data center environment in 
the future?


Again, thanks bud for your time and have a great evening.
