Hi,

I've got an old Sun Ray 1 at home which I've had for a years now but never really had the infrastructure to get to learn more about the Ray's....

Now, I have managed to get into the industry properly and the company I work for wants a live demo of the Ray devices. :-) (I managed to convince them since I personally believe the Ray is one of the best creations/inventions in computing outside of the "dumb terminal" and SPARC server!)

My question really is this:

I have installed SRSS 5.3 on Solaris 11 per this guide:

http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRS_5.1_on_Solaris_11_Express

however, further reading has sent me to the official Oracle Support page regarding firmware updates on the Ray DTU's.

Is there any possibility that I can update my Ray 1's firmware without corporate Oracle support?


To try to prove a point to my company I am logged in via VPN through the Ray however, I had to use X11 forwarding over SSH from my 32-bit Linux desktop as we run a Juniper Netscreen VPN concentrator.

The Ray should be able to connect via VPN to the Juniper without need of the workaround that I am doing however I cannot access the admin GUI within the DTU since it seems it hasn't been enabled.

A non payed download location would be really great for this right now!


In addition are there any guides to kiosk mode and to how to present different OS's to the Ray's, or applications?

Unfortunately I have not really explored the full power of these little beasts but now seems to be good time to learn :-)


Can anyone suggest anything?


Regards,

Kaya
