This is incorrect. All distros other than SXCE / SXDE and Solaris 10 are missing things that cannot legally be distributed outwith a Sun-controlled distribution. This includes the CDE desktop, the Java-based Solaris installer (which SXDE doesn't use) and Live Upgrade. Of those, you are only likely to want Live Upgrade, since the others are not really worth having unless you are already a UNIX user. CDE includes Solaris' default login manager (dtlogin) so this is different on non-Sun distributions. Indiana a.k.a. OpenSolaris 2008.05 does not contain any of the encumbered components and is therefore on an equal footing to those distributions created by the community outwith Sun. Cheers Andrew.
