The earlier Sun thin clients basically used remote X and so could eaily
be presuaded to run without Solaris. The SunRays are a bit different.
As I understand it, they are closer to screen scraping approaches such
as VNC. Thus they talk a custom protocol that includes graphics, key
strokes, etc. Although the server app for this can be run on Linux
(apparently) I am not aware of the protocol being documented nor there
being any non commercial implementations. At one point the licences for
the server app were expensive, I have no idea if this is still the case,
they may be free (as in beer) for non commercial use.
