Ah, okay, in that situation it would be better, although I was referring more to X performance than overall user experience. That was the same reason we were willing to live with such a solution for awhile...we didn't have enough recent hardware to run Sun Ray on Solaris, so we just used an ancient UltraSPARC-II box and had users XDMCP over to a more modern box which was shared with an LTSP solution.

I guess that depends on the situation, because I just came back from a test in my largest sunray lab (30 stations) and found performance more than acceptable.

We have a T1000 as a sunray server (poor choice for an interactive system, but that mistake was all mine). I fire up 30 remote sessions with 30 different users to a quad 2.4GHz CentOS box, and found that desktop performance was _better_ than JDS on the T1000 (a direct sunray login). The CentOS box and the T1000 are connected via a gigabit ethernet which is shared among my server farm and used for NFS and other server-to-server traffic (but not sunray or general IP traffic).
