I wanted to know what  are the significant differences between Release 2  and Solaris 10 of Sun Java Desktop System? Are there any new releases with better features, recently?
Java Desktop System, Release 2, the next version of Sun's affordable, comprehensive, and secure enterprise-class desktop solution. More cost-effective than Windows, the Java Desktop System is an enterprise desktop solution that works with your existing infrastructure. The fully integrated desktop solution ships with a client desktop, including an office productivity suite, email, calendar, browser, instant messaging tools, and more. It also includes developer and system management tools for remote administration in a single package.
Solaris 10 is an O/S (SunOS 5.10) suitable for both desktop or server purposes, *plus* a choice of graphic environments, including JDS 2 and CDE.
JDS 2 is a gnome based graphic environment available with both Solaris 10 and sun Gnu/Linux distribution.You can run Linux app on Gnu/Linux and you can run LSB compliant linux apps on Solaris 10 running on x86 H/W with what is called the Janus project.
