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."

    Installing KDE on Solaris: Slow but not so Painful.

    This coming from someone who's successfully installed
    KDE on Solaris but has yet to successfully install

    You miss the point of computers then... Any geek knows that half of each day must be spent on fiddling with settings to improve performance or GUI by fractions of a percent!

    (Back in college, my friends used to say that I'd "accidentally" crash my computer just so I could set it up again...I think we all know this syndrome)

    Point him in the direction of Blackbox. Nearly as slim as TWM, while actually looking reasonably good.


    What do you mean? TWM is really beautiful.

    Sorry, but this article is reserved for a KDE verus GNOME flamewar. Additional desktops aren't required here, especially if they're better.

    Thanks

    In the United States... You are not yet slaves to your jobs, rather, your jobs are slaves to you.
