Laptop Solaris is a blog looking at the use of Solaris (and OpenSolaris) on a Laptop. Using Solaris on the desktop and more specifically my laptop will enable me to cover many of the aspects of Solaris and help me make comparisons with my other main desktop platforms - Mac OS X, Gentoo Linux (running KDE) and Windows XP. I fully believe that with applications like StarOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and others there should be little reasons why I can’t use Solaris as a main desktop, and portable, operating system.
