I suggest you use QGIS as a WMS server, or use the "export Mapserver" plugin & use Mapserver to create an interactive web page with your comtent. A fully interactive website is perhaps the best way to demonstrate the functionality.
I have also created a Linux Live DVD with QGIS, the required data and a suitable project set up. This provides a bootable DVD from which users can boot directly into a QGIS application on any standard PC, without interfering with the current PC setup. A very elegant way of doing what you suggest. This is also now apparently possible with Windows: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create-your-own-custom-windows-live-cd/ Cheers, Brent Wood --- On Tue, 1/31/12, Gerhardus Geldenhuis <[email protected]> wrote: From: Gerhardus Geldenhuis <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Converting CSV into a database To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 6:18 AM Hi Alex,The Plugin Installer if that is a plugin itself then it is not listed. The keyservers have not been working for a while and that breaks any other updates. Which means I have to deselect any QGIS related updates every time ubuntu updates my laptop. This is my listed repositories:deb http://qgis.org/debian natty maindeb-src http://qgis.org/debian natty main and I am definitely using natty and have not upgraded my OS.

The authentication thing is no big deal sometimes the keyservers just aren't working. As a question of clarification which repository are you installing QGIS from?
