[Opensim-users] Noobi question.

[Karen Palen]

It is long, but I think you will find it quite well organized. The documentation is ambiguous in spots too, but Google helps. There are tutorials and "hint" files all over the web!

My strategy has been to update the Wiki as I figure out something and get it working. That way I help everyone as well as having good (updated!) notes the next time I run into an issue.

I am a Ubuntu user (only 8 mos on Linux), so I haven't done a lot of "distro surfing" yet. All the same you should find a lot of helpful info on the Wiki, and of course more detail and corrections are always welcome!

Karen
