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."

    In my personal opinion KDE is the superiour environment for the desktop and the best environment for the future of FLOSS as it is based gpled FreeQT.
    However gtk bindings will be provided.

    I don't think there has to be competition between desktop environments. The user decides, not SUN, not a zelotish brazilian company.

    I believe it was a mistake of RedHat to ship only crippled versions of KDE and use this ugly Bluecurve theme.
    That's probably why Linux never got a real grip on the desktop on markets which are dominated by RedHat.

    Soon Kde 3.2 will be released... Run it on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, what you like... or run Gnome. It's your decision.
