Even I'm a windows user from the old union (since win 3.1) I encouraged myself to test the Linux client of SecondLife viewer. I don't know anything about Linux and I mean it when I say that I installed to my second laptop (IBM R51) my first Linux dist. ever. And of course I have to use ubuntu (6.06.1) because I have heard that that is almost the easiest linux to install. And it was. Now I have use that linux laptop with linux SL client almost a week and I haven't had any problem at all (with SL  Of course, there is a lot's of thing about linux (eg. how to install adobe, java) but that's an other thing. I think that this is great than Lindens have made this client for Linux and I really hope that they get the real version soon out (even I start using my xp version, because I have done my testing with linux -- Juhani Paike |

Welcome to the world of penguins! I was quite impressed when I first tested the linux client, my expectations were quite low considering it was alpha software and all.. But I'm glad it's there now. I've gone 100% linux now and I'm NOT going to switch back or "upgrade" to bloaty vista. I wish more companies followed LL example and recognized linux as a desktop OS. PS. there's a lot of easy to follow guides at ubuntu forums for things like java, flash etc |

The problem with providing a package that distros can use is that SL updates and moves on so quickly. It might be best to package up a non-interactive script that can fetch & install the current version.
