Beta client logging into Main Grid?

I keep restarting the beta client, and it is indeed the beta client, but I keep logging in to the main grid. Naturally this is causing all sorts of oddities, such as voice chat being enabled and being able to set sculpted prims. I was just on the beta grid a few minutes ago, is anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: And now my main client is saying my graphics card drivers are out of date. Why's everything breaking? I swear I didn't do anything ; ;

Do have the latest Aditi beta client from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download?

--- edit --- oops, wrong url, correct url is http://secure-web3.secondlife.com/community/preview.php

Are you using the correct, newly installed shortcut to start the beta client with?

If you examine the properties of the shortcut that you use to start the beta viewer with, does it say:

"C:\Program Files\SecondLifeADITI\SecondLifePreview.exe" -settings settings_beta.xml --aditi -helperuri http://preview-aditi.secondlife.com/helpers/ -multiple

Ah, I didn't realize there were shortcut parameters. I had added the exe to an app loader, so that must be what happened. A reboot also fixed the drivers issue. Thanks for the help!

That's an Ubuntu download link, Suezanne.
I mean, Ubuntu is awesome and all (and refuses to work on my desktop, but that's another story), but it's hardly the beta client. ;)

Oh, it's the Synergy keyboard mouse sharing program, it gets stuck at times and fails to copy and paste from one machine to another.

The correct url for downloading the beta client is http://secure-web3.secondlife.com/community/preview.php

Or maybe it was a viral Ubuntu promotion campaign.

My copy/paste is messed up and I only have one keyboard. If the text is cuttable, I use that instead because I get the visual indication that it's in the clipboard. I don't know if it's my control key or what, but sometimes it just fails.
