Is the concern that Oracle won't publish desktop-oriented packages? -

Hi Michael;
I agree with you completely.
I have made it work like that only. But the point is you have to go to

For example in Ubuntu, you can try the
HI Ashih,
Good suggestion and that is already underway in the OpenIndiana project
for 'all' compatible distros. SFW_147 is already incorporated in the OI IPS

I just have a small suggestion. Whatever distribution we make, please
