I suggest you keep track of the SunRay-Users mailing list for a while;
discussion of these news is already probably the largest single burst
of traffic there this year.

See messages for "Goodby Sun Ray..."

Most of the constructive ideas roll around ThinLinc with assorted
hardware for the DTUs, and jOpenRay for a java-based open-source
SunRay server for SunRay DTUs. Development of the latter might solve
problems with abandonment of the SRSS, but not of firm/hard-ware...
though having the protocol, one might develop their own SunRay
compatible firmware for less proprietary DTUs.
