Can i own land in replacement of linden homes? I have 0 L.

Yes. As a premium member you can choose either to have a Linden Home or free tier for 512 m2 of mainland. You still have to buy the mainland plot you want but that's jsut a one time expense and doesn't have to cost much - anything from 256 to 5,000 Lindens, depending on the location.

If you choose to move from a Linden Home to your own mainland plot, rememebr to abandon your Linden Home first, *then* buy your new parcel.

If you can not spend RL money, you can not be premium, and so not get a LL home or mainland.

If you are premium, you can hold up to 512 sqm anywhere on the mainland, but you will have to pay a price to get that land.

 

If you aren't premium, you can rent land from other residents, prices for rent depend on where, and how much meters/prims..

As Alwin says, you have to be a Premium member to get either a Linden Home or to buy land on the Mainland.  In order to be a Premium member, of course, you must have some sort of payment method on file...a valid major credit card or a verified PayPal or Skrill account.  And of course, if you have that, you DO have the ability to buy $L.

If you don't want to be a Premium member, you can still rent land from another resident, or lease a parcel from an Estate Owner on a private estate.  However, you'll need to be able to pay your landlord, which once again will require you to be able to buy $L.

One possible alternative is to have some sort of business in world by which you can make enough money to pay for land.  However, you'll need to have some sort of saleable skills to make that kind of money...the ability to create and sell clothing, vehicles, animations, or any of the other thousands of things you see for sale in SL, for example.

There are people who have parlayed the earnings from a simple Second Life "job", such as being an exotic dancer at a club, into enough money to own Second Life land...or even enough money to make SL their full time job.  But this is NOT easy to do!!!
