The vast majority of operating system reviews are the result of a user spending a few days or weeks using a particular operating system and writing about their observations. This review is the result of my continued use of Solaris 10 (previously Solaris Express) from August 2003 to February 2005.

I just tried Solaris 10. Have to say, I am impressed. My current workstation is RH AS 4. But Sun needs several things to make it a clear winner.
1. More hardware support
2. Management tools -- YAST for Solaris anyone
3. As others have stated, the dismal package managemt situation needs fixing.
4. Last the installer sucks -- Anaconda for Solaris would be nice.
Looks to me like all missing things are fixable, quickly. As is it's a fast, stable well done *NIX OS and the JDS desktop has a nice polished look and feel, I am sold. Cheap and good, who can ask for more.
BTW: I like KDE and was surpised that with a few commands and presto, there it was in all it's glory -- Login and run.
