Solaris because 1) building something like GNOME or KDE on Solaris is
non-trivial and you want the vendor (Sun) to do it for you. I have no idea
why many vendors have chosen GNOME. At least here at work and among the
geeks I know outside, KDE usage (on linux or BSD, whatever) is much higher
than GNOME usage, by a wide margin. YMMV. artsd does have some uses (see
below) and you can disable it if you want.
I think that must be regional - in my hometown Gnome is far more popular
than KDE - infact I dont think I know anyone who runs KDE.
Also, as I understand it, ALSA is standard (in linux)
starting with 2.6.0,
right?
Yes.
