Objects in Second Life are built using a combination of primitive shapes, or "prims," which are sized, scaled, and stretched as needed, with images, called "textures," applied to the surface of the prim to alter its appearance. For example, on the exterior wall of a virtual skyscraper, textures would be use to provided the appearance of bricks, windows, and other features. LSL determines how the objects behave, controlling the waving of virtual hair, driving a virtual boat or automobile, or behavior of a virtual gun. Everything in Second Life is composed of some combination of prims, textures, and LSL scripts.
The company has a commitment to open source, with servers running Debian Linux and the MySQL database. because the software is suited to scaling massively
Each geographic area in Second Life runs on a single instantiation of server software, called a simulator or "sim." And each sim runs on a separate processor on a server. So, when an avatar walks or flies or swims or drives from one sim to an adjacent sim, it's actually moving from one processor or server to another.
