Phoronix: OpenSolaris 75 Ships GNOME 2.20, xVM

The bi-weekly release of Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) has marked a few changes with the most recent version. Build 75 of the Solaris Express Community Edition is upgraded to GNOME 2.20.0, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.7, Pidgin 2.1.1, and even The GIMP 2.4.0 Release Candidate 2. Of course, Sun's Java Desktop System with GNOME 2.20.0 only faintly resembles a traditional GNOME desktop environment, but most of the packages are updated to this latest GNOME stable branch. In addition to the latest set of packages, the OpenSolaris xVM (Xen) project is supported by OpenSolaris Build 75. The xVM platform is supported on x86 and x64 systems and supports para-virtualized Solaris, Live Migration, and other features.

I am wondering how different Project Indiana will be in comparison with the SXCE that can be seen here. I have not tried the SXCE yet, so I am very excited and interested in Project Indiana.

It'll be quite different from sxce_75.

I don't think Sun will ever manage to make a non ugly theme.

I like the Solaris theme, it is cool. I even haven installed it on my Linux box.
