| After struggling to reach mainstream status in the technology world for
| years, utility computing may yet arrive in the coming quarters. This time
| around, however, it will be known as cloud computing. And when cloud
| computing does cross the chasm into mainstream adoption, it will be powered
| by Linux.

A second life for 'Second Life' with open source?
,----[ Quote ]
| One of these projects is the Linux version of the Second Life client, the
| viewer application that runs on the resident's computer and lets the resident
| interact with the graphical environments of the virtual world. Ever since its
| release, the Linux client has remained in constant development by an informal
| team, usually three people. Their work could directly benefit the open source
| and Linux community beyond Second Life, in the aftermath of the hype.

| Linden Lab declined a request for current figures on the number of people
| using the Linux client. Nonetheless, Jason Giglio, a developer and Second
| Life resident who actively works on the client, says he heard through the
| proverbial grapevine that about 5 percent of registered Second Life
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| residents, or about 10,000 people, visit Second Life with the Linux client.
