Xandros Linux issues

Hey there, I just recently got Linux, Xandros edition OS. I have been trying to get SL to run, but im new to linux and im sure that im missing something really easy. But any help or anything would be very helpful to me.

thanks.

It's typically just download the tar.zip of SL, decompress it as needed by your distribution often tar -xjf file but it is often distribution dependant! (try 'man tar' on the command line for help or 'tar --help') then going into where you decompressed SL in terminal and running the secondlife script with ./secondlife

If any errors come up that you don't know how to get around post 'em here and someone will help.

Well, its in a folder and there is a lil icon for SL, but when i click on it and want it to run, it just opens up another folder, like I said, im really new to linux, and im not very good with it... so.. yea.. any help is much desired.

You will definitly want to run the client from a terminal, it is a shell script. If you decompressed it to your desktop you will want to use the terminal, do 'cd Sec' (hint: hit tab after typing Sec and it will auto complete) and linux is case sensitive. Then once in there do ./secondlife (can hit tab and it will auto complete) then enter and it should attempt to start the client. When started from the command line it will give you lots of messages, if SL fails to come up in another window you can paste the output from the terminal here.
