No it isn't. Trusted JDS was a project name used to refer to the Trusted mode of operation of JDS when Solaris Trusted Extensions were configured in Solaris 10. Ongoing Trusted Desktop development is tightly coupled with our vanilla desktop releases. It is just a configuration of Solaris that makes the Trusted Desktop available. There has not been a separate Trusted product since Trusted Solaris 8. I hope this is more clear. > so it doesn't make sense to refer to Trusted OSD until such a product > exists. Thats gonna be a long time since no product will ever exist :) I have no intention of using the term Trusted OSD, however, as I feel OSD is just a different TLA that needs explanation and will go out of fashion or loose relevance just as quickly as JDS. Why can't we just call a spade a spade. Its a GNOME desktop, why does it need some other TLA? BTW, http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/desktop/communities/gnome/ has references to JDS.
