- I believe that OpenLook comes with a Sun out of the box. Slight difference.
- Like no imake or xmkmf (useful for building other X goodies), an xterm that

- OpenLook look and feel which some people don't like) and other missing programs
- (don't ask me which, I've managed to miss using the OpenLook stuff so far).
