I'm curious about these answers as well. Within Sun we use the Sun Ray thin client (http://www.sun.com/sunray) to access groups of TS servers. Although the plan for rolling out OpenSolaris hasn't been fully deployed yet, they are Solaris machines serving Gnome desktops.
At the moment, our Broomfield campus has 879 users in a group of 51 servers (not all are running at the moment). The most loaded server I see has 43 desktop sessions. The OpenSolaris 111a server I'm on has 12 Gnome desktop sessions at the moment (although only 4 are actively in use right now), and feels fine. That number will go up once we announce the server's availability more widely (next week when we add another OpenSolaris server into the group). -Bob Michael Schuster wrote: > I'm by no means an expert on these issues, but I do have a comment or > two: > > On 05/13/09 10:18, John Hoogerdijk wrote: >> Is there any intention to support lots of users under opensolaris - >> gnome does not work well with lots of users. > > can you be a bit more specific about "does not work well"? > Also, what exactly do you have in mind wrt "support lots of users"? > >> R there alternative window >> managers that would work better and have decent support? > > that entirely depends on the answers (to the list, not to me) to the > above. > > Michael
