View source for OpenSim

OpenSim (short for OpenSimulator) is an open source program for running virtual worlds, using the same protocol as [[Second Life]].

OpenSim uses the [[libsecondlife]] protocol to handle communication between the client and the server. It is thus possible to connect to an OpenSim server using the Linden Lab Second Life client.
