Gerard, don't forget the choice is not Sparc and Linux, but Solaris
Sparc/x86 and Linux.
If your applications run on Solaris x86 happily, that sounds like a good
mix to me. If you're using Solaris 10 you get the nice new JDS look and
feel, which is pretty user friendly.
If you want to install KDE I'd suggest turning off animations as much as
possible.

very thanks for all your interesting answers.
i'm wondering what's the best choice between sparc and linux solutions:
users use web browser, mail, latex essentially. For all scientific apps,
they use remote machines, so only display is sollicited.
Do you think it's best to install kde on sparc machine (from blastwave)
or use it under linux? my guess is kde will consume more ressources than
services it offers, but it's my point of view, essential is service
given to users.
What is your opinion?
