However, the second life viewer for Linux is very nice. The
animations are smoother, and the detail is more dramatic on Linux than
on Windows, which tends to be jerky which I assume is due to garbage
collection problems.

And of course, the SecondLife Servers are also running on Linux, as
are most of the similar systems.

There are some DRM compatible commercial players available for Linux
now. They aren't part of the Ubuntu distribution, but they can easily
be downloaded and installed.

Aww gee, and I was so sure that after 15 years, SOMEBODY would have
come up with a "killer Virus" for Linux. Maybe in another 15 years
some Microsoft prawn will finally succeed in cracking more than 1
Linux system per thousand deployed.

Bummer, how am I going to explain the delays due to Windows Malware.
Oh, that's right, with no Windows Malware, there won't be delays, so I
can get more done in less time.

I THINK I GOT IT!!

More unsubstantiated lies from Rexx "Kingmaker" Ballard.

As usual COLA "advocates" continue to put more and more people off Linux
through their lies and bile.
