What's the best alt viewer for running SL on a netbook w Ubuntu Hardy Heron that is
the least graphics/RAM intensive?? Is this alt viewer just initiated from the command line?

I can initiate and run the standard viewer for about half a minute, then it crashes the OS.
I understand that netbooks are not designed for SL, but I'm lookind for a work-around. If I can't navigate, at least I could clean out my inventory while traveling :-)

Given the limited graphical capabilities of netbooks, I highly doubt you'll be able to get the official viewer(or any 3D third-party viewer) running on one. But there is the omv-viewer light client, which may be useful for what you need:
