What version of HP-UX are you on?

On 10.20 I believe both VUE and CDE were included, but in 11.0 CDE is the only option. There is no harm in installing CDE. It has been out a long time and is a very stable desktop environment.

you must be on a 10.x system.
11.x doesn't have vue any more.
I have updated quite a few 10.x
systems from VUE to CDE with no
problems. There is a tool called
VUE2CDE included with the upgrade.
It is usefull in migrating any users customizations. Good luck

My version of HP-UX is 10.20.

Where I can find a download of CDE.

It's on the Core OS CD

[Shannon Petry]

Make sure you have plenty of disk space for CDE. Vue and CDE have no overlapping components.

Expect 100-150MB increase in /usr easy, /opt will increase only if you add CDE applications like the WT-Toolkit and Mpower Web. Var will also grow by 30-40MB.

Good luck and enjoy! CDE is soo much better than Vue was.

Shannon

I dont have the Core OS CD with me.
I would like to download it.

[Shannon Petry]

You can not download the OS CD's that I know of. You need to contact your local HP Reseller and order a copy of current HP-UX.

Just so you know, HP-UX 10.20 will fall out of service very soon. You may want to look at HP-UX 11 instead.

Shannon is right, you can't download it
(well you probably can somewhere maybe).
