Linux client (1.17.0.12) smooth as butter… hopefully…

So far so good. From the time I logged in, the linux alpha client has been working smooth as butter. And hopefully it stays that way. CPU cycles were actually down some which was a good sign and memory usage was down a little also. Amazing that this is probably the first version that I’ve seen in a while that has not had a major memory leak or crashed. Good work, Linden.

Unfortunately, the First Look client doesn’t have a version for Linux this time around since voice doesn’t seem to be supported. There isn’t any Windlight sexiness either which is a slight disappointment since we got to see that in the 1.16 First Look client and it was pretty fantastic. Will continue to monitor the linux client arena but so far, it seems like some of the areas where there were stability issues were finally worked out. Hopefully it stays that way as new features are rolled in.
