Nevermind the Firefox version - I haven't got chance to install latest version.

Today I messed with certain newly-released Linux distro and found that it’s too easy boring. Then I decided to take another attempt at “using OpenSolaris as desktop OS” – which doesn’t actually work well (kinda obvious since I’ve installed it like 5 times or more and keep uninstalling after few days).

After installing, I figured I should at least find a better GDM themes (before attempting to upgrade to latest beta – snv_126 and most likely lost any means to configure/customize gdm) and I found this. From there I found link for entire GNOME themes and think that it actually looks pretty good. I’ll leave this installed for now (and will upgrade to latest beta whenever I find time to do so).

If you’re wondering, here are few problems related with using OpenSolaris as desktop:

• No ntfs-3g, or at least before upgrading to latest beta (even then I don’t know if it actually works – never have such system – yet).
• No KMS – and there’s only fugly splash boot screen.
• No suspend (hopefully will be fixed in later version).
• No touchpad scroll (or I’m just too lazy to configure it).
• Kinda slow?
• And other problems commonly related to OpenSolaris.

But at such price one can get:

• ZFS – mainly used for “Time Slider” in case of desktop usage.
• Zones – Solaris’ version of Linux’s OpenVZ or FreeBSD’s jail but (much) easier.
• OMG OPENSOLARIS.

On unrelated note, GNOME 2.28 certainly looks good.
