[OpenIndiana-discuss] [solarisx86] For those nostalgic fellas

[Gary Gendel]

Jonathan,

There are lightweight alternatives to Gnome available with a bit of 
work.  KDE is pretty close to Gnome in terms of weight.  I had used XFCE 
happily for awhile.  It is lightweight and snappy and didn't bring my 
laptop to it's knees.  It also has a CDE-like look and feel.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, it's not being actively supported 
or developed anymore.
