It bothers me that SXCE is released every two weeks, implying very little testing. Shouldn't I be? Someone (Your names sounds familier, it may have been you!) told me a couple months ago when I was starting (Things go slow when you only work on them after the family goes to bed and your brain is drained) that SXDE is tested really very well, and that SUN runs all of their servers on it. Tell me something to give me similar confidence in SXCE (I am gullible :-) )
I have fiddled with ZFS under U4, and maybe SXDE (of course zpool and zfs are the same), so I know about that pretty well. That and Samba are all I *really* need. I installed Samba from the companion CD on U4 but couldn't figure out how the services stuff worked, or how to get it started. I notice on SXDE that I can configure it, then it shows up in a menu, but it doesn't start. I assume RTFM is applicable. With respect to KDE, for our server at work we forced everyone to change to the Gnome as shipped with U4 because the KDE package has not been updated in two full years. No disrespect intended, but it looks like an effort by a single individual who has not gotten around to it in a couple of years. Not something I would want to hang my hat on. I would think that Sun would have to tackle KDE seriously if they expect to make inroads in the "Linux" "Market". KDE *does* have *alot* of functionality, not just eye candy. I guess I know mostly about konqueror. Thanks for your help. With your next response (to my first paragraph) I expect I will be off and running. --Ray This message posted from opensolaris.org
