Phoenix Firestorm

Phoenix Firestorm is an open-source communication client for Linux. It is intended for people who want to access and play in Second Life or OpenSim. The project is actively developing the Firestorm Viewer as the successor to the discontinued Phoenix Viewer.

The viewer is based on the Linden Lab V3 LGPL code base. It provides a broad set of features and options for working with these virtual-world platforms. Its interface can be customized, including an available look that resembles the earlier Phoenix Viewer.

As a Linux application, Phoenix Firestorm fits users who need a viewer for that operating system. Its placement in the Communication category reflects its role as a client for participating in Second Life and OpenSim environments. The open-source license also identifies it as software whose source and licensing model are suited to open development and use.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Phoenix Firestorm build directly on its own storage. Before publication, the mirrored file is scanned for malware. This gives Linux users a catalog-based way to obtain the official build while keeping the distribution information clear.
