Sun Rays For Linux

Posted by timothy on from the shining-example dept.

Tarantolato writes "According to an eweek story Sun Microsystems will be debuting a Linux port of their Sun Ray Server at Linux World this week. This would allow Sun Ray thin clients to be run off of a SuSE or Red Hat box, where you previously needed a Solaris-SPARC setup to do that."

    "You didn't look very hard. I managed to download the upgrade for free from Sun's website. Took me about 20 minutes to find it but it is there and free."

    So it is, wonder when they put that there. For what its worth, it only takes about 5 seconds if you type "SunRay Server Software" into Google. Guess I have no reason not to get my CompactPCI Ultrasparc server running then.

    Mine is based off the cPCI board found in the 1U netra series. So not an enterprise server, just a 333mhz ultra sparc with two cPCI expansion slots (quad nic and scsi cards installed right now).
