Solaris native Second Life viewers
Jeff Barr brings us the news that Second Life user Clark Dastardly has released not one, but two Solaris viewers for Second Life. One viewer is for Solaris 10 and the other for Solaris Nevada/OpenSolaris. The viewers are ready to be downloaded from Amazon's S3 file-service. Neither contains voice (Vivox doesn't supply any Solaris client). The Solaris Nevada version, however does support Gstreamer. These viewers aren't provided or endorsed by Linden Lab, so be as careful as you would be with any other third-party software, okay?
