Opensolaris installation

I began installing Opensolaris this morning, since I hadn’t tried Solaris since leaving uni (way back!). I was quite pleased to note that Sun had upped their game a LOT since Solaris 7 with the positively fugly CDE desktop and moved to standardise on Gnome (common on numerous GNU/Linux desktops).

Based on first impressions – as I install this, ITS PRETTY! *gasp* Even more so than the standard Ubuntu 8.04 desktop! And this is from someone that has two MacOSX machines – pretty high praise. Check out some of the screens :-)
