Detlev,
I assume you're looking for a full desktop session to the linux host?
Look into Sun Global Desktop(not free) or /usr/X11/bin/Xephyr (free).
Another idea, that I'm working on, is to make the linux host a stand
alone SRSS server and then use the following command to do the same
thing:
/opt/SUNWut/bin/utswitch -r -h linux_hostname
The benefit of this is that if you have more than one linux host to
connect to the SRSS software will take care of load balancing among the
linux stations. The downside is getting SRSS to work on linux can be a
challenge.
Only if you use an unsupported Linux distro. It should work out-of-box for
our supported distros, with as little issue as on Solaris.
I've used SRSS on RHEL 4 AS for a couple of years. Everything except
USB-sticks works out of the box. I haven't tried latest version of SRSS,
or running on RHEL 5.
I wouldn't be to afraid for buying RHEL either. It can be very pricy, but
EDU-licenses are really cheap. (You said it was for a lesson?). We got 95%
discount from redhat on EDU-licenses.
