I'm new to the Sun community and am currently not too sure if this has not already been asked on this newsgroup. Currently I'm in the process of determining whether to purchase a Sun 4/20 instead of a 386 box (since I'm a university customer I can get the SLC quite a bit cheaper!). Unfortunately one of the biggest stumbling blocks that I see in my arguments is that I cannot mention the names of any desktop software for the 4/20. I am SURE that it exists and that the quality is great but I don't really know many specifics. Does anyone out there have a list of typical desktop applications (document-preparation tools, graphics tools, etc.) both PD and commercial? I would particularly like to know about Framemaker and whether people have found it particularly useful or productive. Furthermore what does SUN provide together with the 4/20. Please mail me all responses. If there is sufficient interest I'll post to the net. bhatti@ida.ces.cwru.edu bhatti@solarium.scl.cwru.edu
