I have been keeping an eye out for the SunRay Server 3.0 beta release for a couple of months now for several projects that I am working on.  I didn't see this well publicized, so here we are....  The link will take you to the Sun Download Center where a login / free registration will be required as should be familiar to those downloading any other piece of software from Sun {ok <mostly> - and don't ask me why this is not released/marketed under the Software Express program}. 

As you will note from the above link, there are several new key features
    -Linux and Solaris versions
    -Low client - server bandwidth requirements {300kb/s}
       *this enables some interesting things... 
    -Regional Hot Desking

Of course, you need to have access to some Sun thin client devices to play around...  and looks like the link to the docs has not been updated yet.

Now I need to go borrow some hardware....
