SuSE Linux and Solaris?

Does that make sense?

The name reflects Sun's intention to promote this as a venue for corporate users to deploy software written for the Java platform; it is actually built on top of Unix and currently uses a SuSE-based Linux distribution. JDS is included with Solaris 10 (upon installation of Solaris one has the choice of using either the CDE or JDS), and in the future it will also be available for Sun's Sun Ray thin-client system.

JDS is built on top of Unix and uses a ... Linux distribution. JDS is included with Solaris 10.

It's Linux... or is it Solaris? I'm confused.

it's available for both platforms.


Actual content

So, it runs on the Solaris OS, using X Windows for a GUI, and GNOME for a desktop environment, and various other bits for actual software one can use. What precisely is the Sun contribution here, or is this just really a re-skinned/themed/customized GNOME installation? --maru (talk) contribs 04:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pretentious sentences

Why does it read like this page was attacked by a Microsoft zealot? "Familiar interface" doesn't mean "it looks like Windows". Windows evolved parallel to other window managers and took a lot of features from them. Whoever wrote that needs to grow up! Hendrixski 18:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
