Second Life

From the website.
'Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by nearly 100,000 people from around the globe.'

NOTE: there is a native Linux client (latest release is in beta stage) available for Second Life.
It works very well, and is not missing any features that make the game unplayable.
You still cannot view streaming videos, or record videos with the Linux client.

The source is also available from the source archive.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

HOWTO, Install.

Installing Second Life using wine is a
fairly straightforward process.

First you will need to download the latest version, older versions are useless, you wont even be able to log in with an older version.

Install as you normally would with any other standard windows program,

When it asks "Would you like to run Second Life now?", say No.

Now run winecfg and set it up so that (at least for secondlife.exe) wine is running as "winxp", and sound is set to "oss".

Using ALSA causes Second Life to give an error about your system clock being incorrect when you try to log in.
