I downloaded the client, tried gunzip and it failed, no support. tar gives me a tar: Old option L requires an argument error, got it to unzip with File Roller, but it doesn't work using any command things, like ./, sh or the like.

I would hold off for now. The world has been updated and a new client (as yet unreleased for Linux) is required. If you want to play, get either the Windows or MacOS client from http://secondlife.com/community/downloads.php (The windows client does run with regular wine 0.9.9) _____________________

To answer the original question: try
tar -xzvf <filename> (The windows client does run with regular wine 0.9.9) The windows client runs with regular wine for me. Gentoo x86, kernel 2.6.15 with CK patchset. Nvidia Geforce 6600 AGP, Athlon XP 2600+. |

SL uses bzip2, not gzip (as denoted by the .bz2 extension). Bzip2 typically compresses better than gzip. Use the command:
tar -xjvf <filename> |

I have been able to play with Wine, but the sound doesn't work, tried the tar -xjfv thing, get the old option f requires argument still. Running Fedora Core 2 on Athlon 2000XP nvida mx 400 video.

Mind the order of arguments here. It's important to have the "f" at the end of the list, so:
tar xjvf SecondLife_version.tar.bz2 will work, while tar xjfv SecondLife_version.tar.bz2 will not! The reason for this is, that the "f" argument expects a filename right next to it, so in the second example it just gets the "v" argument, which is not a file name  _____________________

Umm.. sound doesn't work with the Linux client either, so that's not a huge deal... If you want to run the Win client under Wine, there are some threads regarding it on here. Some people mention how they got sound to work... |

What would be nice is if the client was released as an rpm, then it would install sooo much easier, although I remember all the grief I had just getting the Nvidia drivers to work.
