JDS under OpenSolaris has a more streamlined look and feel. GTK+ programs are unified under the new Nimbus theme and new versions of Firefox have been bundled as soon as they become available for OpenSolaris' JDS stack. There's also better font rendering (In some cases) and inclusion of Ekiga VoIP application which you can use to collaborate if you have a mic. Java 6 and StarOffice 8 are other perks that fit under the JDS name, This is regarding Community and Developer Edition (Developer is discontinued, use Community) not Indiana. I assumed from the moniker 05/08 you meant SXDE, but bear in mind this is not a supported platform. SXCE should fit your needs, and Indiana with 2008.11 release should also when it comes out. You can download current versions of Solaris Express Community Edition for both SPARC and x86/x64 (Combined in one ISO) from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/sol_ex_dvd_1/ for free. Developer Edition was based on Community and has the same functionality, but Community updates more rapidly.
