Now I have an intresting question. What would a sunray server be? In
some way it is used it is a workstation that is used by several people
at the same time. Is it a multiheaded ws?

And how would I have to count my workstation, that runs a webserver for
some small test (no production)?

Hope that helps.  Sigh.

Well it is still no formal definition. I was hoping for a url hidden
somewhere in www.ibm.com...
