who says hw access ... see www.cendio.com ... if there is an ubuntu branded zone, then there should be no problem runnning thinlink from www.cendio.com there ... we are running thinlink on kvm running on omnios today ... works like a charm and in contrast to sunray even does full screen video. cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland www.oetiker.ch [email protected] +41 62 775 9902 ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
