   I thought Sol 10 x86 could run Linux binaries? Use the Linux Acroreader..

This involves Solaris Express and a very preliminary "Solaris
Containers for Linux" (brandz).  

I don't know that this can be recommended for a production Sun Ray
server.  I've tested briefly, and it is indeed impressive when it
works.  Matlab seems to function, and Maple 10 functions if the
classic interface is used.  There are problems possibly associated
with java (e.g., Novell Groupwise client, maple 10 non-classic
interface).

I understand the reasons for the delays, but Sun promised a
Linux-on-Solaris-10 solution years ago.  It makes choosing Solaris/x86
difficult, since companies like matlab and maple have (recently) told
us that that there is no schedule for a Solaris/x86 release.

We run acroread automagically for our users by connecting to SPARC or
Linux/x86 systems.  Setting TMP makes this work when acroread is
launched from, e.g., firefox.  But this is a per-application hack and
does not extend easily to files that do not live on shared spaces (in
particular, Sun Ray USB memory).
