I think that the feeling about Solaris is that all the Gnome libs are
being ported to Solaris and in fact the rumor is that Gnome will be
part of the default install for Solaris 9 (or is it 10 now?).
Personally, I hated CDE and would love to see it replaced with
something prettier and more configurable/customizable (i.e.
Gnome/KDE). As a system administrator, I love the idea of having
Gnome/GTK+ come pre-installed in Solaris because so much interesting
software is coming to depend on these toolkits.
Anyway, I don't think Solaris would be the OS with lack of Gnome
problems. More likely in that case is soemthing like SCO or DEC/Open
Unix, or so I would guess not being a user of either ;-).
