Super !

A little bit off topic...but I really like this idea.
Something like OpenWindows/CDE/GNOME session choice...actually  
something which re-instanciate the idea that shell/cmdline-environment  
is important to us instead of deciding that users should use bash/ksh  
or whatever tar because they don't really know what to chose.

Hey...something really OPEN ! This is a path to OpenOPENSolaris,  
instead of a skeleton for a new "GNOME OS".
Exit all these sort of "play-station L.nux", where you have to know  
where to click instead of have to know how to do sys-admin job.
