FYI,
from the SUN website:
-----
Sun is a charter member of the GNOME Foundation and an active member of
the GNOME community. Sun is committed to delivering a high-quality
GNOME user environment for the Solaris Operating Environment, and to
providing dedicated resources for the ongoing development and
enhancement of GNOME.
Availability
Sun will offer GNOME 2.0 for the Solaris Operating Environment.
Development of the 2.0 release is still in the early stages. The
following is a preliminary release schedule:
* Q1 CY 2001: Public early access
* Q2 CY 2001: Beta early access
* Q3 CY 2001: General availability

AFAIK you can already download Gnome 1.4 at the moment.
So there may may be no KDE, but there's Gnome and it will be the
standard Solaris dektop in the future.
For further information, look at :
http://www.sun.com/software/gnome/siteindex.html
Also you can download Solaris 8 free of charge and at least parts of it
are open source now.
Cheers,
Dirk
