Hi Lennert
You may want to consider http://www.jopenray.com/ which is an open source 
Sunray server written in java, so platform independent.
Cheers
Lance

Subject: [SunRay-Users] Sun Ray clients without SRSS?
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

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
