Re: [orca-list] OpenSolaris

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

The 2010 version of OpenSolaris will come with a more recent version of 
GNOME.  But, I'd recommend sticking with 2009.06 for now because of the 
audio integration problems we're experiencing.  I hope to see them 
resolved in a release very soon (b121).
