Does anyone use SolarisX86 on a regular pc that is a non server?

I am a former BSD user and I do not like Linux in its current state. Dont mean to flame the linux fanatics out there but its alot of work compared to my FreeBSD experience to install and maintain a system with ease with a degree in stability in its packages.

I need Java and 3d support so NetBSd and OpenBSD is not an option. FreeBSD is too unstable and no longer works wiht my hardware well like 4.x did.

I need Java5 for school and the only non Microsoft OS I can think of is solaris. I intend to use www.blastwave.com or is it www.blastwave.net? ... to update solaris10 with modern packages. I am aware there is opensolaris but it seems like alot of work from the beta builds of solaris11 with tons of patches so I am skeptical.

I would like to use something more modern than gnome 2.8 as that is what blastwave includes. Any suggestions on how to upgrade?

Also for those who have used solaris on the desktop is it really worth it? What are the differences over Linux?

Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to migrate my wse 2.0 code to wse 3.0. I have created a new policy using the wizard, using a username token. According to Microsoft, after you create the new policy you just have to add the line of code which sets the policy (service.setPolicy("myPolicyName")). I have done this, but it keeps telling me this policy is not recognized.
This is all new to me, so I could be missing a very obvious step. If anyone can give me any kind of insight into this, it would help a lot.
Thanks!!

Hi,

I'm kind of new here and wasn't sure of where to post this since it pertains to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 itself and neither C# not ASP.Net

The project I'm working on requires me to work a lot on.pc and .pkg files (ProC and PL/SQL packages)

Now Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 recognizes neither and I spent a long time on google trying to find out how to make it treat these files like C and SQL files respectively - basically do the necessary colorization - but with no result.

I finally found the solution after looking around in my machine's registry.

-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Languages\File Extensions\

That's where you need to add an extra key in the registry if you need your VS to recognize new file types.

Use the value from the existing file type whose formatting you want the new file type to have.

-

Works beautifully!

Just thought I'd post it here in case anyone else finds it useful. Posted to both aspdotnet and csharp. Do let me know if this is against community rules and I'll take it off.
