 Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2025 2:47 pm Post subject: Thin Client Setup--Sun Ray or Windows CE? Is it Possible? |
 |
|
| I am trying to setup a lab for our school. I recently got two thin clients to experiment with: a Sun Ray 1 and a Neoware Capio One with Windows CE (connects to Citrix ICA). How can I get these to work on K12ltsp? If I can get either of them to work, I can get more, and this would solve a lot of problems because I can build a cheap lab. Otherwise, our school does not have too many options right now. Any help will be appreciated. I have about 6 months linux experience and several months of K12.

| Just as an offhand guess, I'd say the Sun Ray would have better odds of working with LTSP than the CE box. But that info is worth exactly what you paid for it.

| Sorry to bring this old thread up.. but I wanted to correct the inaccuate information by the previous poster. The sun ray server software is free and runs on many linux distrobutions. Including Ubuntu. The details of the install can be found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOnSunRay

I think mr_ed might have been talking about an actual server, not just software._________________ I'm back  |

| That may be, but he said "forget about the Sun Ray". I wanted to make sure this young person knows that there is a free and open option for getting the Sun Ray working. I personally use a sun ray 1 and a sun ray 150 in my house under Ubuntu and sun ray server software 3.1 and can vouch for the technology. They are excellent devices. I first learned about them in college as our CS labs were almost exclusively sun rays.
