I'm getting ready to build a new SRSS server. For the last few years,
I've been using Solaris as the server OS because the general impression
was that it was a better platform for the software. My preference would
be to use Linux, as that is what I am more comfortable managing. So
here's my question: how does running the latest SRSS on Linux compare to
running on Solaris? What works or doesn't work? What gotchas are
there? Any particularly nasty hacks necessary for a good user experience?
We are currently not using VDI with our Sunrays, only uttsc to WTS 2003,
and xephyr for XDMCP to a Linux host for a Linux desktop. The plan is
to replace the WTS 2003 servers with 2008 this summer. By using Linux
as the host OS, I'm hoping to get a better desktop experience for Linux
users. XDMCP is fine for getting a basic desktop, but you lose things
like USB and audio support.
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks.
Seth
