As I understand it, they are closer to screen scraping approaches such as VNC. Thus they talk a custom protocol that includes graphics, key strokes, etc. Although the server app for this can be run on Linux (apparently) I am not aware of the protocol being documented nor there being any non commercial implementations. At one point the licences for the server app were expensive, I have no idea if this is still the case, they may be free (as in beer) for non commercial use.

Re: SunRays
Hi, I've been trying to find out if it is possible to use Debian in a Sparc as the manager of several SunRays, but no luck so far. Has anyone done it? If so could you give me some pointers on how to do it. we're serving abou 16 sunrays from a i386 box running Etch and it works very wells. Usually Sun doesn't provide their products for Linux on sparc - unfortunately, so I'm not sure if it's possible to run the SunRay server under Linux on sparc. Al lot of the server is written in some scripting language and dhcp/tftpd are just those which are shipped with Etch, so I can see a chance. I've used mainly http://www.math.uni-leipzig.de/~hellmund/sunray.shtml as reference, but I also took a few ideas from http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/sunray-debian/3.1.1fcs.html Hope that helps, Bernd -- Bernd Zeimetz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzed.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, the server app were expensive, I have no idea if this is still the case, they may be free (as in beer) for non commercial use. As far as I remember they're free for all use now, but you have to pay for the support, if you want/need it.
