Summertime '98 for Solaris 2.6 SPARC & x86 are compilations of the
most popular and most useful applications available today on the
Internet. Each application has been pre-compiled for the
appropriate platform, and each is bundled using the Solaris
"package" format. This allows individual packages to be easily
added or removed from a user's computer using the built-in Solaris
package management tools (pkgadd, swmtool).

is well integrated with the Solaris Common Desktop Environment
(CDE). Packages that are installed are immediately integrated into
the user's desktop for quick access.
