It was never started that Linden Lab would stop support of their Linux viewer either, just that they would no longer be making efforts themselves to develop it.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_sign_1430401751614591232" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family: helvetica, arial;">-- <br>Cinder Roxley<br>Sent with Airmail</div></div></body></html>
