Hi Johan, It's the development build of GNOME desktop environment for Solaris. It will be integrated into OpenSolaris every 6 months because the release cycle of GNOME is 6 months. If you want to use development release of GNOME, you will need it. It's easy to install it for Solaris Express. But hard for OpenSolaris I think. because there is no public repository for it as far as I know.
