Wim,
First, thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback. :)
Here is a short list of items to consider:
* Java 7 JDK Support Optimizations : e.g. if Java 7 is present
utilize AsynchronousChannel and friends... If not, then
fall back to Java 6 support minimum.
* Plugable Xsun/Xorg/... and Gnome/KDE/Fluxbox/Blackbox/...
Services, as in a utadm option and not a scripting surgery
adventure. Stay above the battles and serve more customers...
* Common Source/Executables for all platforms distributed
via multiple package management (pkgadd/ipkg/rpm/deb/tgz)
formats. Hint: Simple with Makefile/Ant build scripts...
Greatly simplifies training requirements for SunRay adoption.
And will help with long term sustaining support required. :)
* Keep installation/configuration for basic install to <=10 steps.
* SoftRay for Intel Atom N280 Netbook with similar Firewall/VPN
features to SunRay 2/2FS. e.g. portability of netbook and maintenance
free of SunRay 2/2FS. :)
* Automatic/Managed migration of SunRay user(s) between
physical or virtual SunRay Server instances. or is that "FOG"?
I am not sure if any/all/none of the above are planned/available.
Thanks for listening.
Cheers,
Joel.

Hi all,
aside from the obvious issue with colormask (WIP) and yes it's clearly
a big deal that is going to be addressed - what else is there that
you'd want to see?
Given that we have Oracle Enterprise Linux (which btw is a -free-
download and -free- use - it doesn't require support subscriptions if
you don't want support nor does it require support subscriptions to
just download) of course we are going to make sure that that's fully
supported and on par with Solaris and make it easy to install/package
etc...
I have seen a number of folks running ubuntu but that by itself is
quite a bit different in terms of packaging and quite frankly
work/effort but I would like to understand what in particular attracts
folks to using ubuntu for sun rays. is there anything that we are
missing in OEL in particular, what is it that you are looking for
that's not there ?
also re ubuntu : there really are 2 ways to look at it, one is to use
VDI and run ubuntu desktops with oracle vdi the other is the standard
sun ray server install directly on ubuntu. first one is there today ,
second one is just, as I said, a lot different than supporting rhel or
oel and you can do if you hack your stuff together today.
virtualizing - is anyone running sun ray server virtualized ? 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 ?
Wim
