-NOTE - this is the OpenSim 0.8.2.1 version, the 0.9.0.1 version is in the
-SledjChisl branch, which isn't quite ready yet.
-
-
-Use this to create a sim that links into Infinite Grid from Linux.
-
-It's only been tested on Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, 12.04, 16.04' as well as
-Debian 8, YMMV.  This is also a WIP, use it at your own risk.  It's been
-used to set up a few freshly installed Ubuntu servers though.
-
-The directory layout.
----------------------
-
-The various directories are -
-
-.git            Used by git for it's internal accounting, and the older versions.
-
-.nant           Used by the nant build tool.
-
-OpenSim         OpenSim source code.
-
-Prebuild        Used by the build system.
-
-ThirdParty      For third party OpenSim modules.
-
-addon-modules   Also for third party modules.  Don't ask me why there's two.
-
-bin             The OpenSim binaries, and other files.
-
-doc             Supposedly for documentation, which I wish OpenSim devs would write some.
-
-scripts         Various Linux scripts for managing OpenSim.
-
-share           No idea really.
-
-Also, the installation script moves the following directories to outside
-of this main directory, they are all used for writing various things. 
-Makes it easy to upgrade, and separates them from actual executable
-stuff.
-
-AssetFiles      Stores assets if running in grid mode.
-
-backups         All sim and inventory backups are stored here.
-
-caches          Various cached things.
-
-config          All your configurtion files.
-
-db              If you are not using MySQL, your data lives here.
-
-logs            Log files get stored here.
-
-
-Follow these steps.
--------------------
-
-Go to -
-
-https://www.infinitegrid.org/drupal/content/How_to_link_your_OpenSim_region_to_Infinite_Grid_LinuxMySQL
-
-and follow the directions to create an admin user account.  You can skip
-that bit if you already have a suitable user with sudo access.
-
-Note that these scripts pretty much follow that above wiki description,
-with some exceptions.  The configuration information per sim has been
-rearranged so that there is only ONE copy of the OpenSim installation.
-
-Next you need to figure out what password you want to use for OpenSims
-access to the database.  We will call this "DatabasePassword".  Run the
-following script, from inside the OpenSim directory -
-
-./InstallItAll.sh DatabasePassword
-
-This will do most of the work for you, except for creating sims.  There
-is a final step that needs to be done manually for now.  Edit
-/etc/rc.local, make sure it has the following line in it somewhere,
-probably at the end -
-
-/opt/opensim/current/scripts/fix_var_run.sh
-
-
-Creating sims.
---------------
-
-A separate script is here for sim creation, you can use it to create many
-sims.  You will need -
-
-Your host name, or it could be your IP, we will use "sims.example.net".
-
-A name for your sim, we will use "My new sim".  It should be unique on
-the grid.
-
-A location for your sim, we will use "1234,5678".  You can use the
-Infinite Grid web based map to poke around and find a good location. 
-Choose an empty spot.
-
-Once you have all that information sorted out, run this script from the
-installed scripts directory -
-
-./create_sim.sh "My new sim" "1234,5678" "sims.example.net"
-
-Or this if you want to override the detected IP address -
-
-./create_sim.sh "My new sim" "1234,5678" "sims.example.net" "1.2.3.4"
-
-Also, you can create a varregion with something like -
-
-./create_sim.sh "My new sim" "1234,5678" "sims.example.net" "1.2.3.4" 512
-
-Note that the size has to be a multiple of 256, so 512, 768, 1024, etc.
-
-Running sims.
--------------
-
-Now you can go to /opt/opensim/config/sim01 and run the following script
-to start it up -
-
-./start-sim
-
-You will see the screen console.  You can run the screen console again by
-running that command once more, or running the sim-console command.
-
-You can stop the sim with -
-
-./stop-sim
-
-You can backup the sim with -
-
-./backup-sim
-
-
-
-Finishing up.
--------------
-
-Once it's all tested, you can use this to finish things off (back in
-the scripts directory) -
-
-./go_live.sh
-
-Which sets up the monit control file/s, though you should double check
-it all, and you still have to do the basic configuration and enabling of
-monit yourself.  This is in case you already have monit set the way you
-like.
-
-
-NOTES -
-
-This attempts to use only one copy of the OS install for all sims.  We
-are running one instance of OS for each sim though, as this prevents one
-sim crashing from bringing down the others.  OS however really wants to
-write data to directories within it's own bin directory.  I'm not at all
-certian if that data can be shared.  For the same reason, so far I've
-not been able to get to the point where we can make the OS directory
-read only.  This complicates things during upgrades.

+opensim-SC is a fork of OpenSim, and OpenSim is a clean room fork of
+Second Life.  They are all 3D virtual worlds that are open, users can
+create their own content, these are not games.  Second Life is a
+proprietary server, with open source viewer.  OpenSim is an open source
+server that works with Second Life viewers.
