There are no problems with experienced users (it's ok for them to use terminal and users' rights are quite limited). We suppose this boxes could be used for access to our computation cluster or programming, so use of terminal is normal. (We even installed gnu compilers and geany as lightweight IDE). The problem is not in users rights (users only shouldn't harm or overload the server, and its quite hard on Solaris...). The problem is in customization of OpenSolaris Desktop for inexperienced users. And its quite hard to achieve, because some things that shouldn't be hardcoded in Gnome, in fact, are. > What version of Solaris are you running? SXCE build 97 We think about migration to OpenSolaris (maybe 10.02) and so we would like to use much less customizations in software code, however some of them are necessary, e.g. to integrate GVFS and SunRay USB storage access (I posted first versions of these patches earlier in OpenSolaris forums, they are quite ugly and so we don't think that they may be merged into upstream versions of gvfs and hald).
