Screen refreshs like switching between desktops show the tiles being updated across the screen, but it's not a real problem. Playing MP3s using xmms works nicely, with no dropouts. > I was hoping to be able to use a SunRay at home - I have a 6Mbit > symmetrical line, and I guess a ping of around 20-30 ms. That should work nicely. > No VPN yet though - will need to get that sorted before I can do any > testing. I'm really curious as to whether that will work. I see no reason why it shouldn't. Just make sure when selecting your VPN product that you can use it in network extension mode, meaning you are able to route traffic from your internal network through the VPN client and the concentrator into your Ray network. In the case of the Cisco VPN, this means having to purchase a HW client because the software client doesn't allow you to do that. > If you (or anyone else who's using SunRays from home broadband > connections) could give a little info on how the desktop "feel" is in > such a setup, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd say it's definitely usable. Hope this helps, - Markolf -- Markolf Gudjons EDD/XT/EP Mst.
