Jon,
I'd be happy to test what you've done.

Okay, I just compiled opennx to get a client (which involved compiling
nxssh as well) but it did work, and I've just connected to myself and it's
still working ... wonders will never cease :)
in which case I can probably just tar up the /usr/NX directory and get you
to test it at your end?

long time ago (2011) ... I've got a tar of it, but OI has changed a lot in

I said (a while back) that I would have a go and see if I can a compile of
the latest version when I had time, and it kinda got forgotten about.
It was a real hack though, I manually modified the Makefiles and ran some
of the compile lines by hand to make sure it picked up the system
libraries, I wanted to spend time getting it to work with less effort.

Jon,
Did you get the NX server running on Solaris/OpenIndiana? I was almost
successful but couldn't get all the components compiled and running.

The best alternative for light-weight sessions from Solaris was FreeNX,
but
I haven't found a good Solaris NX Client, still looking.
When I get enough time I think I will try to recompile it again on
hipster,
or at least try to streamline the thing to re-use the native drivers
again
... I really had to kick the sh*t out of it to get it to compile last
time
(2011).

Totally agree!
I looked at Xspice as an alternatief to ALP but you need a 10 Gbps
network
if people want to use youtube.
The Sun Ray is really light-weight for simple multimedia and even works
well over WAN connections.
As for pulsaudio. Xspice also needs pulsaudio to be able to transfer
audio
to the client.
Xspice is still in developement.
Kind regards,
Ivar

SunRays aren't easily replaced. they're a very cheap, reliable and

SunRays all support high resolutions out of the box. They all support
smart
card technology to connect to the correct session. They are a true
thin-client, a SunRay client uses less electricity than my set of LED
fairy
lights, that I hang in the office at Christmas. The protocol they use
is
exceptionally light-weight, possibly even better than RDP, orders of
magnitude better than VNC.
We've looked around for replacements to our system, but because we
hot-desk
(it's a laboratory, people walk about all day) most other clients just
don't do what we need. We've taken to buying up other peoples SunRays
when
they sell them off.
They're one of the greatest systems/protocols that Sun produced, but
because the margin was small, their sales guys just weren't interested
in
pushing them, except in the 1000s, and because of this they didn't know
what they did, in order to push them in the market ... and with no
profit
coming from the line, Oracle dropped the product.
Just my 2cents.
Jon
