You are right <slapping my face> <slapping my face> ...I needed that! I was looking into trying to run the reverse-engineered version of the SecondLife server stuff, which relies heavily on mono. But <slapping my face> they run Linux on their servers, so... I doubt that they would rely on something so horrendously system intensive to actually run SecondLife. So, just maybe <puts on thinking cap and taps chin> they don't use it? Anyone know the REAL DEAL?? I doubt that anyone could successfully run such servers in that fashion.
