I own a Sun Blade 1000, Sun Blade 2000, Sun Ultra 30, and a Sun Enterprise 450 server.   I am looking to buy a Sun Blade 2500 in the near term.   I have been desperately waiting for a version of Opensolaris that will run on these platforms.   I use the Sun4u (Sun Blade 1000/2000) more than the the ultra 30.   I would definitely need a desktop environment as I use these machines as workstations.    My preference is for the sparc port to behave exactly like the x86/x64 distro of opensolaris.  I do not need the live cd a regular install method like what is available with linux is fine.  But I do need the full complement of software,  X server (preferrably hardware accelerated), gcc, and gnu utils.  I also want to be able to use the Sun Studio Express compilers on this platform.
