Is it as slow :-) Hmm, actually, really, how's performance, I quite liked CDE but the Sparc 5 at work was really sluggish but it might just have been that Solaris couldn't cope with CDE rather than CDE itself. CDE seemed to have a large memory footprint and I've noticed that Solaris isn't very happy unless it's got lots of headroom memory wise. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.
