It could be done in a much more portable way, so that transitioning from one unix to another would be much less of an effort ... feel free to contact me off-list if this is interesting to you .. > virtualizing - is anyone running sun ray server virtualized ? we are running a diskless ubuntu sunray server on esx ... it is stable as a rock ... very nice environment ... > would it help if we made full images available for download > (would be for Oracle VM - btw also free download and use) that > contained OEL and Sun Ray Server pre-installed and preconfigured > for the standard setup ? since we work on unix, this would not help, but I guess for people who run sunray just to get to some other systems this might be nice ... sunray server appliance in a box ... but as I said, investing 3-4 weeks in doing some spring cleaning of the sunray software distribution would be a REALLY good idea ... and cut down on support costs dramatically I guess ... cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch [email protected] ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
