Hi,

You got my vot as well.

I would like to suggest that the packaging for solaris will be as general as

dependencies should be compiled into this package and good support.
The last thing is something I'm sure of , seeing stefan work and help for
the solaris kde community.

Keep up the good work we're behind you..:)
