So I just registered an account with Second Life (followed a link from slashdot..).

I like the game a lot! However, there's just one 'small' problem. I can't play it at work as my workstation is Gentoo'd. Any chance of a Linux client sometime? :)

Really? Cool! Now I can play it on my uber Linux box...

And how do you know btw? Just out of curiousity.

I've been bugging Hunter Linden to give me an Alpha version of the Mac client. I am so sick of windows, I never want to get off my mac!

Well get him to give me the alpha of the Linux client! My homemade box will be most pleased to have some fresh meat! :P

One question, should you be playing at work? :)

The question is not "should you be playing at work?", but should you be working at all when you can enjoy living in SL?

You have to pay for it somehow.

Then you have to pay off the credit card debt somehow.
