In other words, Sun is saying that it has a linux distribution without having a linux distribution. I don't see the "JDS" going to Solaris anytime soon.

Interview with Sun Java Desktop Group (OSNews) Posted Nov 21, 2003 12:11 UTC (Fri) by davidl (guest, #12156) [Link] I've often wondered about Sun's stance on this. They claim that people will be going back to Solaris and deriding Linux but they are supposedly going to sell a lot of Linux/Gnome based desktops with Java stuck on it. I don't see them basing this on Solaris and selling lots of Sun Workstations any time soon. Besides, if they did base it on Solaris would anyone want to pay the extra cost of a Solaris license? Probably not.
Interview with Sun Java Desktop Group (OSNews) Posted Nov 21, 2003 13:39 UTC (Fri) by louie (subscriber, #3285) [Link] They will be porting JDS to Solaris. Really, it makes sense- there is no reason for them to support multiple desktop code bases (JDS and 'stock' GNOME 2.0) especially when porting most of it will be a fairly trivial job. So, port, offer the same UI everywhere, and if the customer wants it on solaris, great, and if a customer doesn't want it on solaris, they'll still offer it on Linux, I'm sure. [If they don't, Redhat and Novell will eat them for lunch. ;)
