Thanks Aly.
I'll respond to the bits I know about.
- A 220R we set up dragged for performance, can't remember config on
Solaris 8.
It's a fairly old box now, but you're probably well aware of that.
>Sun support costs are quite high per annum. Galaxy servers may
hold loads of hope.
We should see some cool stuff with Galaxy. I'm sorry to hear that a
V20Z with the right support level isn't competitive with your Dell
pricing - it should be.
Things that would be nice to see in SRSS 3.x + would be to have the
ability to use the USB with USB Pens, Printers, external hdds, whatever
USB items we can lay our hands on for which Linux has a driver. I had to
tell my director well you can attach your external hdd on a Solaris
based SR server but not on a Linux one. Correct me if I am wrong on
this. He wasn't extremely impressed.
USB support with Linux is due to arrive with SRSS 3.1 I believe. It
will match what you can currently do with Solaris. You are currently
able to print to usb printers with SRSS 3.0 and Linux if you configure CUPS.
Is there support for 64bit Linux coming?
That would be a plus as well.
You'll be able to get details on that from Sun.
>I am most interested in seeing the tarentella stuff that
you guys just bought and how it fits into the SRSS world.
Tarantella is a good product, particularly for shops with mixed Windows
and Unix environments. It's by no means useful only with Sun Ray, of
course.
You can download it and have a play. It's very easy to install and get
up and running with.
I must admit that I don't know very much about the organisation that
maintains and runs this list. It might be a good idea to have a
tarantella-users list!

Hi Aly
Support for newer versions will arrive. To get the details you'll
have to get in touch with your local Sun office or partner as that
info will be NDA at the amount. I or the other Sun people on the list
can help you get in touch with the right people if need be.
I would be surprised to see support for other Linux flavours, but
never say never. These decisions are market driven of course and Red
Hat and Suse are the market leaders.
It would be interesting to know what reasons you have for preferring
Linux over Solaris in your environment. I know that there are all
sorts of arguments either way, but it's always good to hear things
straight from the customer!

Hello One and All,
I hope that you are well. Do the Sun folks have a roadmap for the
SRSS software on the Linux platform ? Would there be proper official
support for the 2.6 Kernels and the ability to install the software
on more than just RedHat and SuSE Linices.
Some thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Aly.
