How to get an account on an OpenSim grid

First, you will need to choose a  home grid. This is not a final choice, many of us have accounts on more than one grid.  There are hundreds of grids, but to keep things simple, we recommend any of these three.  Each is supportive and helpful to newcomers.  Kitely is the largest commercial grid on the hypergrid.Metropolis is a large international nonprofit grid. Craft-grid is a smaller international nonprofit grid.
