[osol-discuss] Any way to upgrade/migrate SXCE to opensolaris?

2009-09-25 Thread keithk
With SXCE EOL drawing near, I am thinking of switching over to opensolaris from 
SXCE. Is there any document on how to upgrade the current SXCE install over to 
opensolaris? I'm am going to miss the well integrated desktop that Sun puts out 
in the SXCE distribution. StarOffice 9, CDE for backward compatibility for some 
of the outdated 3rd party software like Citrix ICA client for Solaris, and the 
Java Desktop themes and wallpapers.

I noticed in the development build there is a package called SUNWdtbas 
which is a CDE application basic runtime environment.  You have to 
install is seperately, it will not automatically install.  As for 
Staroffice, Openoffice is pretty much identical.  I use the 3.2 
development version which is at m59 now.  For wallpapers, I just copied 
them over from the SXCE directories.  The desktop is integrated the same 
if you ask me othe then two seperate menu's for System and Places.


But now you get IPS.
