    I hope you don't plan on installing it on the Solaris server that's
    running the SunRay software. They are all Solaris binaries and it's
    unlikely you'll get it working under any kind of emulation mode -- does
    SuSe/sparc have Solaris emulation? I can't remember if it was mentioned
    here or on one of the other sparc OS lists I'm on.

    Here's something you certainly can do... Install SuSe on a new
    server. Config xdm to allow logings from anywhere on your network via
    broadcast. At the CDE login for your main Solaris server you'll have an
    option for remote login -- it'll let you browse for any xdm sessions on
    your LAN. This is how I've logged into all manner of OSes from my SunRay.
