KDE 3.x Installation On Solaris Discussed

Posted by simoniker on from the mooninite-os-also-popular dept.

Jim Hall writes " A recent Sun-hosted article looks at installing and running KDE 3.x on Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) -based workstations. Author Corey Liu tries to shy away from the debate over GNOME vs. KDE, and focuses on how KDE is installed on Sun workstations and the Solaris OS. Both GNOME and KDE are available at freeware Web sites for users of the Solaris OS. While Sun recently began to favor GNOME as the default desktop environment on the Solaris OS, some people still enjoy using KDE."

    ok.

    1. i never said they were having issues. i said if they did have issues then they are retards.

    2. i agree sun's main stream webserver should never crash to the power of /.

    3. yes i am a sun basher. why? because after i found linux i quickly made the realization that i could do everything solaris can do cheaper. ohh lets not forget that i was a sun beta tester for a prior company and got to see the shit they put out. ohh and lets not forget that their tech support guys don't want to talk to you. i'm sure i'll think of other reasons why i hate sun but i digress

  2. Dual License.. not GPL by nurb432 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Need to check your facts, last time I looked QT was not GPL you cant do anything you want..

    You can develop free software based on it with out buying a license.

    You cant extend it, nor can you write commercial software with out licenses...

    This might have changed since then of course..
