For any Userland folks with an interest in running Sun Ray with the iPad or Android OVDC client, there is an upcoming class. See details below. I only mention this because I find it so handy to run a Sun Ray server on my laptop and to be able to access my Solaris desktop via my iPad. Also it is so easy to set up. I find it handy for checking email, for example.
To use the iPad on S11 or later, you need to use SRSS version 5.4 which I do not think is actually released yet, but I believe will be soon. To install it and make it work with iPad, just run these commands as root: $ cd /import/sunray/srs/5.4/build/stable/release/image $ ./utsetup -d $ /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -L on $ /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -a -g -z both -M -u both $ /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utstart -c Then install the OVDC client on your iPad via the Apple Store (I just search for Oracle, there are only a couple of Oracle apps to wade through) and connect. I haven't used Android so I don't know how that works, but I imagine it is similarly easy. If not, the upcoming class probably would help. BTW, I do find that the GNOME desktop becomes a lot more useful on the smaller display of the iPad if you: - Right click on the panel, go to preferences to increase panel width. - Go to System->Preferences->Appearance and select bigger fonts. Also, the desktop runs faster with Sun Ray and without if you install the group/feature/multi-user-desktop package and run this command as root: $ svcadm enable multi-user-desktop Note: I like to use this multi-user-desktop package and SMF service on my normal non-Sun Ray desktop since I like the more performant desktop (such as wireframe window move/resize and black background).
