- cpach 6y agoWe had Sun rays at uni. I kinda liked them.
- guenthert 6y agoThe SunRays were sweet. The CPU of the RPi is capable of running circles around the one found in the 'Rays, but in my experience, performance was limited by the server. The Sun Rays had also decent sound ("CD quality"), a Cisco compatible VPN client and a smart card which allowed one to comfortably drag one's session from one Ray to another (home to office, cubicle to lab, etc.).
