Hi,
the live DVD image of KDE4.3RC3/OpenSolaris is available at
http://www.genunix.org/ [2GB]

In addition to the standard OpenSolaris CD content*, Korona** comes
with an almost complete KDE environment - 22 KDE packages plus
localization to 57 languages and 38 supporting packages AND
Konversation (no Amarok though, the recent versions don't build
correctly). The live DVD boots right into a KDE session.

There was next to zero testing and some things are known to crash, but
overall it's quite stable and there is at least one person already
running it as his regular desktop (not me).
Bug reports with patches are welcome; without them not so much as
we're still concentrating on making some packages buildable.

The best places for queries are at
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/category.jspa?categoryID=107
and
irc://irc.freenode.org/kde-solaris

no, it boots and runs on top of opensolaris.

as to KDE4.3 for Solaris, I think there were/are efforts to get it to run 
on S10 as well, but currently as I understand it most efforts are geared 
towards opensolaris.

Re: [Fwd: [osol-announce] Korona 0.0.1 released]

Sorry, I meant the KDE 4.3 piece. We use Citrix XenApp for UNIX and Sun Rays here so we are stuck with Solaris
10. We still have KDE 3.x in use here. I would love to be able to get to KDE 4.3. :-(  But thanks for the info!

AFAIK ade is in close contact with SunRay people. Having KDE running
on SunRays efficiently is apparently not just a matter of having it

I believe the project should be still buildable on s10 with some
effort. it definitely was with kde 4.1.3

NP; I'd suggest you go to the various sites where these things are being 
documented; start with http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris
