What is the GNOME 2.0 Desktop?
The GNOME 2.0 Desktop is an easy-to-use, advanced desktop for the Solaris 8 or 9 Operating Environment, SPARC and x86 Platform Editions. (The x86 Edition of Solaris 9 OE is available with Solaris 9 12/02 and later.) It is a compelling alternative to the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) that has been provided with Solaris OE for several years. GNOME provides a familiar desktop metaphor that enables users to easily interact with the applications and documents on their desktop. It includes an advanced file manager, a comprehensive online help system, useful software utilities and accessories, and panels for launching applications and managing application windows and multiple workspaces.
