Ok, lets refine this proposal: 1. Deliver KDE3 to /usr/kde3/ and reserve /usr/kde4/ for KDE version 4. No /opt/blabal or /usr/sfw/junkblabla 2. Ship a Sun/Solaris-branded KDE which uses the default SuSE Linux 10 configuration as default (e.g. things like emacs-like input/edtor modes for widgets, enable the klipper clipboard tool by default etc.) to increase interoperability+productivity. 3. The package should be named SUNWkde* (where '*' means the suffix for the packages) and targets delivery into Solaris 11. 4. The KDE should focus on a lightwheight default configuration with a upper limit of 128MB per user (better would be 64MB if possible ; this excludes larger applications like OpenOffice, Konqueror, Mozilla/Seamonkey (see below)) and a strong focus on office usage 5. Focus on a compact and stable distribution which matches more or less the pieces shipped in SuSE Linux (for interoperability) 6. The distribution should be compiled with the Sun Studio compilers (as a mandatory requirement for the project). No gcc junk. 7. Consider using Mozilla/Seakmoney instead of Thunderbird/FireFox (for the simple reason that the Gecko engine is very memory hungry and running it twice, one for time FireFox and a 2nd time for ThunderBird is IMHO excessive squandering of memory resources). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
