We run a solaris9/X86 jumpstart server at work, it runs on most
hardware. the only issue i have encountered that could not be fixed was
with the intel GigE card due to a device name of 1000g (some services
dont like numbers in the device name). and no, CDE is still in it and as
ugly as ever. but you can download gnome 2.0 from sun.com for free.
there is also a freeware site for solaris as well
http://www.sunfreeware.com/ they have some opensource apps available for
download.
