Well, you could always install Sun Ray Server Software 
(http://wikis.sun.com/display/SRS/Home) into a virtualbox or directly on 
a Linux or OpenSolaris box and use the software client (which 
unfortunately requires Windows :( ) to test it... Or of course pick up a 
couple of hardware Sun Ray clients from EBay:
