I've seen an installation of about 30 SunRays before and I seem to remember thinking that they needed specialised software from Sun running under Solaris in order to work. They are *really* thin clients that really only consist of a monitor, mouse and keyboard and rely on their host server for everything else. That's not an architecture that you're going to get FreeBSD to run under I wouldn't think. I'd like to be proved wrong however. Perhaps the rays just provide an X Server or somesuch and you could persuade them to display the output of XFree86 under FreeBSD? I don't know enough detail to say for sure - do some investigating then come back and tell us all! Also, you might want to ask on the sparc64@freebsd.org list, where more experienced Sun people hang out I'm sure. Good luck! Andrew
