I still *really* like openwin/olvwm. It is light weight and works well on
SunRay's.
I have found that you can load the packages from Solaris 8 onto Solaris 9 or 10
and it works well.

Right now at home I have 4 DTUs setup, where I'm likely to have no
more than 2 in active use at any given time. I used to run them on
SRS 2.1 with Solaris 9 on an E420R (3x450MHz, 1GB RAM) using the
version of GNOME that Sun packaged with it. I've since upgraded to
SRS 3.0 with Solaris 10 on an SB1000 (2x900MHz, 2GB RAM) using the
version of GNOME (now called JDS) that Sun packaged with it.
What's really annoying is that the interactive user experience is now
*slower*, despite the base hardware being nearly twice as fast. I
directly blame JDS for this (always used to prefer KDE to GNOME on
Solaris for performance anyways, but KDE is getting harder and harder
to cleanly integrate newer versions of into Solaris). I also really
hate how JDS insists on using fonts that look like crap unless
anti-aliased (and the anti-aliasing is of low quality and generally
has a performance hit on Sun Rays). (I'm also a KDE person in general
whenever I have the option.) I also hate how JDS makes UI
configuration an obscure PITA to figure out.
So what desktop/wm are you all using? How do you get good interactive
desktop performance? (yes, I've read the "put GNOME on Atkins" blog
article, but am looking for a non-GNOME option)
