We actually investigated that possibility here in our institute (~120 SunRays) and in our experience the Raspberry Pi is simply to underpowered to deal with the necessary load ThinLinc&Co produce. In addition, it doesn't support dual head displays. As a net result of our evaluation we are currently nevertheless in the progress of replacing all our SunRays with intel NUC (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/nuc.html) based systems (Celeron-based version costs ~150,- EUR) for which we adapted the free Linux-based "thinstation" ThinClient Operating system (PXE boot) and are using ThinLinc to connect to our Linux-based servers. Our current plan is to have all our SunRays replaced by the beginning of 2014. The good thing with ThinLinc is also that there are Solaris clients which you can use in a SunRay environment; so we are currently switching over users step by step as we buy more and more NUC systems. best regards, jens -- Dr. Jens Langner Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research Department of Positron Emission Tomography POB 51 01 19, 01314 Dresden, Germany http://www.hzdr.de/ | +49 351 260 2757 Vorstand: Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c.
