Darren, Elijah, Glad you like VirtualGL and TurboVNC!
It is part of our Sun Shared Visualization software product, which is also available for free download on the Sun DownLoad Center. It is VirtualGL plus integration with Sun Grid Engine (which lets multiple users share a system with a 3D graphics device(s) or a grid of such systems plus a plug-in to enable 3D on a Sun Ray. This will be part of an HPC Visualization project on opensolaris (web page coming soon) along with Scalable Visualization software. TurboVNC has the same highly optimized JPEG compression that VirtualGL uses so performance is the main differentiator between it and the other vncs.
