Just to make us all nervous
 10.1 is coming Wednesday, unfortunately without a Linux Preview. A lot of the new Lighting (which is GOOD!) is supposed to be shipped out to the graphic card. There is however a weak link between the SL Linux Alpha Client and the hardware... see numerous posts including the very first one. Are we going to end up with a lame duck? There HAVE been performance issues on the Mac, which are fixed now. Once more, nervous...  _____________________

I agree. This is kinda scary. What if it comes out without a Linux client? Will I be stuck out of SL untill they finish the port?

Usually, the windows client comes out first. Last time, the Lindens have been pretty quick to provide us with a working Linux version, so there is hope

Wine works, sort of. Aplha Channels not though...
But I will be very disappointed, considering that Karen Linden said it has been integrated in the mainstream release cycle... Or was that just THAT release cycle? --- edit --- Correction, it was Don: /263/91/87573/1.html#post889209 ---- end edit ---- _____________________
