This is not much of a report since it seems everything installed without any problems. The only thing that does not work (I think), is the sound card.
After I installed the OS (Build61), I went over to Blastwave and used their pkg-get utility to download goodies such as blackbox, xfce, evolution, gcc, and others.
I do have some concerns, such as:
1.) The OS takes a long time to install..
2.) I typed 'netscape' at the command line and it looks like the default version is 4.78. Wow. I hope we ship a much newer version of Mozilla in the final release.
3.) GNOME crashes when you try to drag a folder or icon anywhere.
Other than that, everything went pretty smooth. Maybe if I get an open couple of days (impossible), I'll try configuring a Solaris 10 Beta desktop as my daily workstation. I still have questions about support for firewire HDs before I do that though.
