Should be, provided you have an X server that supports the X Cursor  
extension-- they're not specific to Solaris or GNOME. (Actually the  
Solaris ones aren't implemented as X cursors because Xsun doesn't  
support that extension yet, but any recent version of X.org should.)

I run Ubuntu on my Mac laptop and it comes with three or four large  
print cursor options.  I haven't really found a good source for  
downloadable cursor themes though, there are a few here but I don't  
see any large print ones:

Of course, it would be cool if the large print themes in gnome-themes  
also just installed an equivalent large print cursor theme-- I think  
there's a bug open requesting that, so if I have time I'll look into  
doing it for 2.14.

Cheeri,
Calum.
