1) Wrong. OpenWindows is also available. Run it from the command line "/usr/openwin/bin/openwin". There is also a way to change your default window manager, but I don't remember what it is.

2) You are running an older version of Solaris. I'm not sure about 9, but 10 uses a Sun version of Gnome called Sun Java Console.

it's the Java Desktop System aka rebadged gnome, didn't know you could run openwindows though, but it's solaris 9 and only CDE is available on the session screen. I'll try out openwindows the next time i head over there but it still sucks too, so, meh, lol. Window Managers for X: OLWM / OLVWM

well I just checked it out and the system doesn't have openwindows on it.

No openwin? Bastards.

D-EJ915 · 12-06-2007, 04:44 PM

yeah got the folder but no openwin or Xsession

Quote:

OpenWindows was included in later releases of the SunOS 4 operating system and the Solaris operating system until its removal in Solaris 9 in favor of CDE and GNOME 2.0.

oh well I have solaris 8, 9 and 10 media in case I ever want to fuck around with it

You NEVER want to fuck around with Solaris on your desktop. It's a solid server OS, but Linux is much better on the desktop.

yeah, mainly because it doesn't have shit for package management, but eh, I can make anything work

Irix blows it away for like usablity though, at least versus CDE. My peeve with Solaris & the other Unixes is their lame-ass filesystem support

The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
