Yea, I think that I remember working a little bit with the SunRay stuff some years ago and did not know that folks were still using them.
I've used RDP on Windows and Linux (via xRDP) for a long time. You are right in that the Linux/Unix implementations leave a lot to be desired, but for this project I am leaning towards NoMachine NX or X2GO, at least initially and will see where this takes us as I need a generic support for multiple OS's that also supports application seamless windows as well as audio, file xfer, filesystem sharing, and a few other things for which these 2 seem to be the most advanced in this way and still cover most of the requirements. The current catch is that I may have to do a significant amount of work to get one of them to run on Openindiana (Illumos-based) to talk to the VM's BTW, I really like the "Sheldon Cooper" pic. It's a great show that I can relate in that my day job is as a Physicist.
