Whatever you like.  If you prefer another window manager (twm, fvwm, etc)
then you can run that instead.

There's a menu on the login screen for a command line login (as well as a
minimal X failsafe login).  man dtconfig for info on disabling the graphic
login screen entirely.

and SDRC IDEAS at one time but for a web browser and a pile of xterms
you'll be fine.

There's some minimal stuff at docs.sun.com.  What are you looking for?
