Hi Tim, a simple way to start practicing and making classes with FOSS4G is using liveCDs.
Yes, I fully agree. I have given several courses via liveCD (several) and never had much troubles. In fact, students were pretty suprised how easy it is: insert CD/DVD and start working. Best is of course that I could tell them to take the CD/DVD home and make as many copies as possible. Not only the software was on these CD/DVD, but also all seminar data. Since it goes online easily (if firewalls permit), then folks could even enjoy WMS, WFS and so forth. My (positive) experiences cover faculties of Veterinary (these students didn't even know that Linux exists), public administration and certainly power users (there were several advanced courses at FOSS4G2006, Lausanne). cheers, Markus _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
