Chapter 8. Client Platforms
8.4. Solaris
The Solaris client is very similar to the Linux client.
8.4.1. Requirements
• Sun Solaris® 10 on SPARC. When using redirected local drives, the package SUNWscpu needs to be
installed.
8.4.2. Installing the Solaris Client
The Solaris client can be found in client-solaris/ in the Client Bundle and is shipped as a Solaris
package. Install by using the pkgadd command.
# pkgadd -d CENDthinlincclient-4.3.0-4538-sparc
If you would like to install the client as non-root, you can extract the files with the pkgtrans command:
$ pkgtrans CENDthinlincclient-4.3.0-4538-sparc
The client can be installed and run from any location on the filesystem.
8.4.3. Running the Solaris Client
For instructions on how to run the Solaris client, see the corresponding instructions for the Linux client
in Section 8.3.3.
8.5. Thin Terminals
ThinLinc has support for several thin terminals, i.e. hardware built with the task of providing a thin client
as primary design goal.
8.5.1. Neoware Terminals
The recommended way of running the ThinLinc client on these terminals is to migrate to the "eLux"
platform. See Section 8.5.2 for more information. Neoware was acquired by HP in 2007, and no new
terminals are produced. Old terminals should work but with limited performance.
8.5.2. eLux-based Thin Terminals (Fujitsu Futro et. al.)
ThinLinc has support for running the client on eLux-based thin terminals. This includes the Fujitsu Futro
as well as NEXTerminal terminals such as the NEXceed. eLux is a modern embedded operating system
which works well.
