Solaris 10 Installation and Desktop Walkthrough

Posted by timothy on from the drag-out-your-grudges-and-polish-them dept.

linuxbeta writes "On OSDir they've got a whole whack of screenshots of Sun's Solaris 10 from the first boot screen, through an x86 installation, and through either a Java Desktop System 3 or CDE (Common Desktop Environment) 1.6 desktop. It's nice to have a look at Java Desktop System 3 while it's not even available for Linux (yet). I dunno... looks like Linux to me. I know about the licensing issues with Solaris 10, but I think they've got something going on here."

    if by "looks like" you mean "cheap ripoff" and by linux you mean "Windows," then yes... it "looks like" "linux."

    Seriously, I really believe the whole windows and "desktop" model has lost its usefulness and any room for innovation. Maybe its time to move on now, guys?
