LTSP is a X terminal solution, ie requires that you run a X server on the
client. X servers are quite complex; I'm not sure the DTU is capable of
doing that. In any case, it would probably require a lot of work.
A better solution could be to document the protocol and create protocol
converters. For example, one could add support for the DTU Appliance Link
Protocol (ALP) to, say, Xvnc. That would allow a LTSP like solution, and
you could also reach Windows Remote Desktop Service via rdesktop and
other RDP clients. ALP should be similar to VNC. I know there's some work
done in this area already, but it was a while since I checked the status.
Before starting such a project, though, one would need to check the legal
situation.
Rgds,

Hi,
I wonder if a petition to put the DTUs'firmware open-source (to use with LTSP
for example) will have a chance to work ?
We also here will have 50 Sunray DTUs 2/3 that will be totally unusable ...
Ecologically not acceptable ...
What do you think about that ?

Hi -
We've decommissioned our Sunray setup here, and I now have ~39 Sunray 1's
(+ ~30 bases) to get rid of. Rather than just throw them in our electronics
recycling I figured I'd offer them to any academic institutions that could
make use of them.
The one caveat is that you need to cover shipping on them (all of them, I
don't want to split up the collection); preferably you'd be able to give me
a UPS account number, or failing that a number of pre-purchased labels.
As mentioned, we'd prefer these go to an academic institutions; but if no
academic institutes claim them by Friday anyone else is welcome to them.
Replies off-list please.
