"I recently decided to see what the big deal was about OpenSim. After initially installing it on my desktop computer and connecting to it with the latest Release Candidate viewer, I decided to try to set it up on an inexpensive hosting account to see how feasible it was to run a real sim live on the Internet. Today's blog post talks a bit about how I did it, it's not a how-to guide, and you'll probably need to be a bit of a Linux geek to follow along, but hopefully you find it interesting."
