Setting up Sun Ray Thin Clients

Finally getting the Sun Rays incorporated into the retro rack. A Sun Fire V240 is hosting the Sun Ray Server Software required for these thin clients to run. We'll do plenty of retro rack console server shenanigans, experiment with the "dual head" (aka dual monitor) capabilities of a Sun Ray 2FS, and finally do a start-to-finish new user setup with some third party Smartcards.
