It seems to me, however, that the most efficient use of SRSS and Sun Ray terminals is to deliver native Solaris or Linux desktops sessions from a single FOG of a few servers or so. As a desktop O/S, Linux has much more going for it in terms of availability of popular software. Yet, for a Sun Ray site, running Linux, end-users are left feeling like they are in the stone ages. > At this point in time, Red Hat still refuses to accept the multi-seat > patch required for Sun Ray, so the prognosis going forward with Sun Ray on > Red Hat is unclear. > > -Bob > > If Oracle Linux received full support in a timely manner, then the claimed commitment to SRSS on Linux would be more believable. -- Kind regards, John Francis
