Well, if I'm not too much mistaken, nearly all of SRSS is written
in Java, isn't it? The SRSS distributions for Solaris/SPARC and
Solaris/x86 are the same. This suggests to me that, with some
hacking to get around filesystem layout crap, it should be able to be
made to run under Linux on SPARC with an appropriate JVM. But then I
haven't thought about the X server itself, hmm.
I think only parts are in Java. Other parts are in shell, which is
also
platform independent, but there are also kernel modules and non-
portable
binaries (i.e. compiled C/C++).
I just looked on a Linux-based Sun Ray system that I manage. The
modules it uses are utadem, utdisk, and utio, and they are supplied
in source form.
(I had to rebuild them just last night after a kernel upgrade, in
fact!)
The distribution for Solaris SPARC/x86 is
the same but the installer never installs all the packages included
on any
given machine; i.e. the distribution includes more than one
complete set of
packages.
Ahhhh, so it's just got both sets of packages in the same zip
file? That's a bit...erm, dirty. But ok.
