There's your Linux desktop

Micah Abbott complains that there isn't an internal push for people to use JDS/Linux on their desktops. I suppose they missed the "JDS challenge", an effort to install JDS as much as possible. Also ISTR there have been a few JDS install-fests.

Micah: the date/time bug has long since been fixed (it's bug 4852615). And I'm afraid that Mozilla is no less crash-prone on Linux than it is on Solaris (believe me...).

Linux is great but I'm not sure how you reached the conclusion you needed it based on a fixed bug, one that hasn't anything to do with Solaris, and having an ancient machine :)

you know, JDS shipped with an old kernel. How embarassing that must have been for sun. If it shipped with newer software which actually upgraded drivers it would have installed fine on some of my machines..there are also some bugs that havent been fixed on it still. all in all it was a horrible distro. Sun should just keep JDS on solaris and stop supporting linux, linux sucks anyway
