[Opensim-users] Opensim on Ubuntu Server

[Steve]

The only error I've seen is a physics failure. Since installing the 
server edition I've done everything as a user (except where root 
priveliges were required - e.g. updating mono)

I may try moving the folder and see if it cures it. It's times like this 
I miss the GUI of a desktop. Having said that, since the only thing the 
machine is doing is running OpenSim, it shouldn't be particularly 
vulnerable.

It's more annoying.
