I know this is forum is for problems mostly.. but I just thought i'd say that the Linux SL client works nearly flawlessly out-of-the-box on my Gentoo 64-bit system (ATI drivers, "unstable"

. using "stable" libs from Portage. I was not surprised videos did not work, but it is not an issue at all for me. I tried SL from a windows system and was disappointed at it's performance and appearance compared to my Linux box.

I totally agree!

And particularly the major Quantum Leap since Tofu Linden has been handling it means that I basically NEVER use the windows client unless there is a strange situation which is evident in Linux and not in the windows client - or at the moment to upload/download stuff. Since I am one of the Idle Poor, this is not that common

YAY for Tofu!

I agree as well. I recently upgraded my CPU and video card and now I can run the linux client. It's great! Who knew ripple water actually looked pretty cool?

It's so great not having to use cedega anymore. Ever since we got shiny and sound, I completely switched over to Linux native. And now we have file upload (including Dale's wonderful KDE file requester hack) there's no need to even *think* about switching back anymore.

Great work! Finally the Linux community is catching up with the rest of the SL world
