 Hey guys,

  I had to set up solaris 10 on an old sun workstation that we have. I gotta 
 admit this is quite an impressive release (in terms of technology, ease of 
 installation, etc.)

  Anyways that aside. I had to read up on the Solaris 10 install guide from 
 Sun and wow it is beautifully and professionally prepared.

  I am curious, do you think this is done in LaTeX? Of course they probably 
 have a template for it but looking at it more and more I see more proof that 
 is done using in LaTeX rather than something else...

Most of the Solaris documentation is prepared with FrameMaker.

Judging by the *smell* of it I'd say it's Adobe FrameMaker, but acroread
says it's Application: XPP (whatever that is), PDF Producer: Acrobat
Distiller Server 6.0.1 for Solaris

Doesn't help much, doesn't look like LaTeX either.

Best,

Aah interesting...i should have tried to use pdfinfo to get more information.

Anyways, I guess you're right FrameMaker does make more sense.

I guess we could get a semi-pro layout done with LaTeX? Scribus could probably 
be used as an alternative to FrameMaker if I am not mistaken.
