Solaris X enviorment
- Thread starter T3C
- Start date
On the rare occasion that I actually use a GUI on Solaris, it tends to be CDE.
Too lazy to install something else for the few times I use it, and Gnome isn't exactly speedy on an Ultra5.

I use the Java Desktop Environment (had to install this from scratch). Also don't mind using CDE.
What I didn't really like about Java Desktop Environment is that it just installed the files, no compiling needed. At first you might think this is a bad idea but I would rather a desktop which is compiled for my processor, which it wasn't. So there is no telling how stable the environment is.
edit: I must not be awake yet. Java Desktop Environment was already installed by default. I installed KDE from scratch.
I think I am in need of my caffine

are you sure? I would think that compiling an application would greatly increase the stability and swiftness of the app.
If you compile things correctly, it should provide you with the exact same binaries as you've already got. You can mess with the optimizations, but that adds risk. gcc is notoriously iffy when it comes to odd optimizations.
It does SSH as well, though typical we just telnet to the boxes on our server floor. It's behind serious security equipment though.
It does parts of what OpenSSH does.
It's fine if you're stuck with an OS that doesn't support SSH natively. I use it at work. telnetd has recently been removed from OpenBSD. It just doesn't belong on any network.

Agreed.
You know the analogy 'If you put a bunch of monkeys in a room , together they might be able to write a shakespear play ? Well I think that mentality was taken when CDE was written
CDE + Solaris 8 = A 'Winning' Combination

Bahahah
I can just imagine it -> The Book Footnote
To My Wife , friends and all those on ATOT Forums who gave me the courage to write this book on the excruciatingly painful CDE interface ....
Really one thing: Alt-Tab doesn't work the way I want.
Other than that, I am fine with CDE.
Of course, you can use any windows manager you want, as most of them work in Solaris.
I just got the native Nvidia driver installed, JDS is much smoother now.
Although ffor me simpler is better, so I don't use gnome or kde much.
When I need GUI, I use Windows.

Looks like $hit, slow, focus on mouseover by default, no good term program, crappy file browser.
Well, that's a start, haven't used it in a while, so I'm bound to remember more if I use it for a little while.
