Solaris 10 with JDS on my Grub.
Posted by: Geethapriya on: April 27, 2007
I had Solaris express in my laptop with CDE-a proprietary desktop environment which sounded little bit difficult to use. Once I subscribed for Solaris10 DVD in Sun site. I got it this month through air mail. After finishing my semester exams I tried installing it. Now I have got a Solaris with JDS(Java Desktop System) environment uses free software.It is based on GNOME2.6.It gives a look and feel of a windows environment which can attract ppl.
Its really cool!!!.. Have got Sunstudio dvd also.Yet try those stuffs.Sun stuffs–Keep rocking!!!!..U can subscribe for Solaris DVDs, Sun Studio,Live CDs here

Looks like an old desktop that 
. I had installed solaris10 on my laptop too but found it too slow for my ram so back to the old trusted ubuntu . how much ram do u think is really good for running a solaris build like any other normal linux distro ?

I have 512MB RAM and its running well.But i think 256MB RAM will be enough for solaris10 with JDS.

This is a very old JDS desktop.
The CDs that you get on get.opensolaris.org should have been that of Solaris Express – based on the currently developed bleeding edge version of opensolaris.
Even if you got a Solaris 10 DVD, this looks incredibly old . The new desktop is very polished and good looking !
