[Opensim-users] Updating OpenSim on Linux

[Sean Hennessee]

This page has a script for automating an update on Linux/CentOS
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Automating_Tasks#Linux_.28CentOS-5.29
It does not address possible differences in the OpenSim.ini, but helps 
manage all the simple tasks of updating OpenSim. It also gives an easy 
path back to your previous version if you can't get the new version to 
work. (Just re-link 'current' to the previous release folder.)

Peace,
Sean
