Second Life powered by Debian

published on Tue Mar 6 21:21:46 2007 in news, success-stories

Linden Lab, the creators of the Second Life MMORPG (wich grows subscription base 20% monthly), chose Debian GNU/Linux because of its massive horizontal scalability (in March 2007 there were 2000 servers, expected to grow up to 10000 servers) and easy manageability, allowing a small IT staff. They already opened the source of the game clientand ported it to Linux.
