Second Life Native Linux client Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the streaming-porn-for-everyone dept.

strredwolf writes "Linden Labs has opened up the native Linux client to all users. This is an alpha version, though -- it has a lot of bugs and many hard edges. Prelim reports on the Linux client forums include: NVidia cards are better supported over ATI; get the latest drivers working in 24/32 bit color; some file editing to tweak settings is worth it; no sound; no file uploading; no texture downloading."

    The only remaining reason I keep Windows around at all is for MMORPGs. Maybe now I can get rid of it.

    So... does Second Life have killing people with swords?

    They're between the condoms and the deodorant, duh.

    Oh, sorry, I guess you've never been in that section.
