   Wander over to http://grass.osgeo.org/ and grab a copy of grass-6.4RC5;
actually, get the latest from the svn server or yesterday's weekly snapshot.

   You can get map data from the Oregon Geospatial Enterprise Office (OR GEO)
at http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/sdlibrary.shtml. You can find
congressional districts, county boundaries, cities, census data, etc.

   You can even color the resulting maps red and blue!
