What's wrong with Solaris' package system? I found in two seconds a
web site with a large number of the most common packages used in
linux and freebsd packaged for Solaris package system. They worked
great and I didn't have to spend precious time porting a package
system meant for some other operating system. I don't want to get
into a dpkg v. pkg debate, the point is pkg will allow you to
monitor the packages you have installed and remove any that you want
to remove. This whole thing is OT, after all.
