I'm also planning to do this on Hipster. Please lete know when you're
starting that trial. I'm a bit unsure about what must be hacked in SRSS to
make it work in Hipster.

No, I favor the Solaris flavor.
The Sun ray are now running on opensolaris B127 with some userland 
updates for the browser and office.

If I find the time I will try to install SRSS on Hipster.

For me the Sun Ray is a much better userinterface than the smart tv 
browser on my Ultra HD Samsung tv.
So for the next few years there is still a future for the Sunray 3 plus 
clients. ;-)


I have the filibeto sunray list from 2005 till 2015 in my Thunderbird 
mailbox.

If anyone is interested in hosting this somewhere I am happy to share it.

Kind regards,

Ivar

CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
[root@mansalray02 ~]# more /etc/lsb-release

cs-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch

there are issues with it, and almost all linuxy applications work okay ...
we have issues with google-chrome, in that it starts up and runs okay, but
doesn't close properly.  There were issues with installing vnc and rdesktop
from packages, so we had to install them from source. we had to disable a
few daemons that kept using up a lot of cpu ... but the rest works a charm.

Still miss the Solaris, but the users don't

Yep, the filibeto.org mailing list.

The last post that I have was from 24 September 2015.

I need to qualify my comment.  AFAIK, there was no official end that was posted 
that I was aware of.


At some point, shortly after Oracle announced that they would be discontinuing 
the SunRay line, all activity from the mailing list dried up, and, then a short 
period after that, the associated web site http://www.sun-rays.org/


dropped off of the Internet.

Reviewing the Wayback Machine archives, the last crawl of the web site was here:



Although I believe that the web site was online at least into 2015.

I have mixed feelings about the list.  The software generally both installed and 
worked pretty well on Solaris.  The stuff I really enjoyed from the list was 
that Sun->Oracle engineers & developers were on the list and shared tips and tricks.


At some point, the SRSS software had been ported to lunix, and was very unstable 
on that platform.  At least, that is how it appeared to me.  I never attempted 
to run SRSS on lunix.  But, the whole mood of the list changed after the port. 
At least from my perspective (and you know what that's worth :) ), the whole 
mood of the list changed, and now the list was all about trying to resolve and 
run SRSS on the new platform.  Slim to almost no Solaris based content.


I was tempted many time to suggest that the list split into two, one for each 
operating system, but didn't.  IMHO, the SunRay was a great thin client 
platform, and I personally own 6, although I only have one (2FS) in use right 
now.  I would like to grab one of the Oracle 3+'s at some point in the future, 
should one cross my path at the right price.


Thanks again for sharing updates on this product.

Maybe, with the full archive of the list, it can be restarted on another

What do you (everyone) think that place might be for hosting mailing
