Karen I had a quick look at the diva hypergrid distribution. I'm interested because ultimately I think hypergrid is the way to go and also, right now, I'm fed up with the grey avatar/white eyes syndrome and maybe doing something different might fix it (hahaha).
I have a question though: what does 'configure.exe' actually do? I'm already running a standalone with multi-regions, using MySQL, which a few of us are using and doing some building and asset generation. I can't use Port-9000 because it's used for something else on my server. So I use Ports 91xx for a 'Production Grid' and, if I want to test something, I snapshot the /bin directory and the MySQL schema and run an identical version on Ports 92xx. If that works, then I migrate the changes to the Production Grid. And I do an automated back-up of EVERYTHING! Every day, lol. I don't want to try playing with the diva release and find 'configure.com' trashes my existing setup or MySQL database.

Easy to setup and to keep up to date. Windows and Linux/Unix. Download the file diva-rNNNN.zip, unzip it, read README.txt and take it from there. http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/downloads I found it very easy to install with complete and explicit instructions in README files. The READMEs direct you to the wiki and other places where fairly complete instructions for using the hypergird can be found. WARNING: Opensim is "alpha" software, Hypergid is "pre-alpha" and all kinds of thing work or don't work for no apparent reason. In particular hypergrid availability depends on who has their grid turn on when you try to connect - this varies hourly! For all of that hypergrid is a lot of fun to experiment with, and the diva distribution is stable enough to do development and content creation provided you keep good backups! I do a backupPC backup every night PLUS a complete dump of my MySQL database every night! I was bitten once with database corruption and do NOT intend to lose my work again! Good Luck and have fun!
