Hi John, I'm with you ... we have here a 600 seat installation of SunRays, but
the only thing we have, is ("There is no better TCO than a WTS" ... cite
www.brianmadden.com) a simple kiosk pointing to WTS2008. This is easy to
manage, maybe I will use the broker some day for things like select a WTS or
your PC or so, but mostly we try to make WTS that open, that 95 % of the
programs run on it and the rest is using laptops and so on.
Any our UNIX tools for server access are putty, pageant, winscp, Excursion and
the unix tools for windows 7 and wts 2008, so we don't miss too much here.
regards, thomas

I haven't heard anything counter to that. It's just that up to this point, you
can't deploy native Linux desktops on an officially support SRS with a decent,
modern web-browser.
There are those from Oracle who respond with "Oracle is supporting SRSS in
modern multi-seat desktop environments (i.e. RHEL or OEL)." IMO, this is a
clear example of not getting the issue. By doing VDI, yes, you can support
practically any operating system, but the point is VDI IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST
CHOICE. And IMHO it is rarely, if ever, the best choice.
The bottom line is that it has been a long time since RHEL 6 was released. It
is the closest thing to a modern, stable, Linux desktop, and it is unsupported
until now with nothing but rumours about future support.
Am I the only one who finds it hard to get enthusiastic about the VDI
bandwagon? Am I missing something important here? I recently did some reading
on the architecture of XenDesktop and it made my head hurt and my heart ache.
Unix is simple and elegant, when will we find our sanity again?
Sorry about the rant, it's Monday and I haven't had coffee.

Last I heard there was a beta for the next SRS release that runs on OL6. Have
you heard something new in the past month or so that contradicts that? FYI,
they announced an Android client one day after your post.
