Hello there,
I have a bunch of headless machines that do have desktops (older UNIX, etc).
Currently I load that desktop either by reconnecting my monitor, keyboard and
mouse to whatever machine I want to work on, but that's fairly cumbersome. I've
started using Xnest to connect via XDMCP to the machines, which is workable;
however, I'd like to have a thin client to do that for me.
A Sun Ray 270 looks like a nice option (a 3i would be nice as well, but those
are hard to find and/or expensive). I can't find much info on using it as a
plain thin client though, so I've got a few questions:
- Is it possible to use a Sun Ray thin client as a 'standalone' client, as in,
without the sun ray server software installed on the other end?
- If yes, what protocols does it speak? Can it do rdesktop, xdmcp, ...?
- Is the client limited to one server, or can you preconfigure multiple
'servers' to connect to that you can choose via a menu of some kind?
- Are there any other things I should know before I try to pull this off? :)
Thanks a lot,
Lennert
