Glad to oblige!

I forgot to mention that you need to use the "--grid" flag when launching the viewer in order to specify a Preview grid. Look for the grid name next to "Current preview farm:" on the Preview download page for the correct name. Then, start Second Life using it. (Ex. "--siva";).

Hope you enjoy the Preview client. We will get it out to you earlier next time. ;-)

Oh man, I can't wait! You don't know how much this means to me, and the entire Linux SL community.

You have to add "--siva" in the secondlife script, immediately after "secondlife.bin" in order to connect to the preview grid.

Other than that, WOW! I hope we are now also in the Preview Loop, permanently :D
