hi folks,what are actually the differences between login in ~/sgd or ~/tarantella or in the native client? I can see the obvious visual differences, but what about required resources, bandwidth and so on?thanks-ph

I have the same question. Not only visually different, but no one can login using /tarantella, while every one can log in using /sgd. What gives?loki1234 at 2007-7-6 22:55:48 >

There is no difference in bandwidth.
The classic desktop (/tarantella) makes use of java applets to start the applications and can be used on any device which has java >1.4.2 installed.
The SGD installs a small java application in the users profile which is called tcc.exe. This Tarantella Client Connector helper sets up the AIP connection between the client and the SGD server. By using this tcc it gives a SGD more flexibility. The client must be able to download, save and start the tcc.exe to work with /sgd.
A sample of the extra options when using the /sgd :
- Start multiple sessions of the same application
- More logging options
- Use seamless windows
- make use of local rcp-client or X server if possible

thanks for that.
btw, do you know if there is any possible way to use SGD as replacement of local X?
what I mean is to have the basic solaris/linux installation and to be able to log in SGD and use it, so the local pc would be alike 'ray thin client' and all the rest would be on SGD server.

Just create one object which will start an X-server on that unix-box and display it in kiosk-mode. In this manner the local pc will act just like a thin client.
It is also possible to combine Sun Ray with SGD and get the best of both worlds. SUN is working on the coupling between Sun Ray and SGD which is already very good to make it even better. The techniques used on both products are very similar.
