Some basic instructions on how to use OpenSim/OGS for hackers and geeks
-------------------------------------------------

1.First, either get in touch with a grid owner or install the OGS server components on your own server.
2.Ask the grid owner to send you keys over a secure channel (encrypted email, paper mail, phone, encrypted IM/IRC). If you and the grid owner are not concerned about security (YOU SHOULD BE!!!) then this exchange can be done over any communications channel.
3.Edit src/Config.cs to reflect your changes or if the grid owner has provided you with a template/custom database, drop opensim.yap into bin/
4.If you edited src/Config.cs then run "nant build" at the root directory
5.With mono on Linux/BSD cd into bin/ and run "mono OpenSim.exe", On win32 just run OpenSim.exe
5.Login to the grid with a standard viewer and find your sim (note that at certain times the SVN version does not allow logins)

Some basic instructions on how to use OpenSim/OGS for the laymen
-------------------------------------------------

1.Ensure you either have mono or the .NET framework runtime installed
2.Find a grid owner
3.Ask the grid owner to send you connection instructions
4.Either install the grid owner's opensim.yap by placing it into the same directory as OpenSim.exe or follow their instructions
5.On Linux/BSD, go to a command prompt and type:
cd /path/to/where/you/downloaded/
cd bin/
mono OpenSim.exe
6.Login to the grid in the normal way
