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."

    They must of done something

    I hope the "of" above was just a typo, because I can't imagine how the verb "have" would be replaced in a sentence by the preposition "of".

    Think about it, would you say "Of you gone to the store yet?" or "Do you of any cash?" Just because "have" and "of" can vaguely sound alike if not pronounced clearly it doesn't mean you can switch them at will.

    And before you accuse me of being a spelling/grammar Nazi tell me how many languages you speak. I started learning English as a teenager (about 20 years ago) so you have absolutely no excuse for this mistake beyond the 1st grade in elementary school. /rant

  8. Re:Still with CDE? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I prefer CDE mostly due to the lack of Gnome HIG. I mean Gnome LOOKS nicer but the OK/Cancel buttons are still all fucked up. From a usability POV, CDE beats JDS/Gnome.

    I like Solaris. I find that it's more professional and robust than Linux. But what do I know, I only wrote Linux.

    Gee - it took you 3 attempts to answer basic questions like hostname, IP address and nameserver, select what type of install you wanted and then hit install?

    Can you please point me to where there is such a credential as a certified Solaris Installation Engineer?

    Considering how many people got it going on thousands of machines allready, and your lack of any real detail as to why it failed, the only conclusion to make is you are unable to grasp the concept of using a mouse and keyboard.

    Is someone posting for you?
