RE: Running Solaris as a Desktop

Member since:I run Solaris with VMware on Slackware so I can learn my way around the system by doing mostly Desktop-type stuff and a little bit of OS patching and configuring.
I like it very much and might try to run it natively if I get a supported hard disc controller or another computer to install it onto.

Oh, forgot to mention one thing, the nice guys in #opensolaris asked if it was an USB mouse and since it was they told me to edit some file to raise the priority of it or whatever, so I guess that thing is easily fixed, more ready to install open-source software would still be nice thought.
How many of you are actually running Solaris as desktop/development workstation?
