The default is CDE, at least in the beta. I didn't get around to seeing 
what was available at the login screen - will check later. Even new dogs 
don't seem to be any more flexible, we've had guys who have done Solaris 
1 and 2 who refuse to use the bash shell because the lecturer got them 
to use ksh and I know of only one guy who came back a bash convert, some 
of them spend the time to become experts in using "ksh -o vi" instead, 
something I am determined not ever to use, I can't even remember what 
the keyboard fingering is for any of it. If on 2.6 and 7 I can't get 
bash installed (customer's objection), I just type it all in.
What, no scroungers in Sun? Surely you could get your hands on an 
Ultra5/10 and a cheap, i.e non-Sun IDE drive.
Regards
Sid.
