[OpenIndiana-discuss] Oracle Stops Sun Ray development

[Ron Dawson]

I heard about this earlier today.  I'm not sure what this will do to our
plans to replace our old Sun Ray 1 and 1Gs with the 3 Plus.  Currently
we're running off Solaris 10 on SPARC.  I have not tried it yet with OI or
Solaris 11.

Daniel, were there any difficulties getting the SRSS 5 software running on
OI?
