Hi Jake, If you are just new to QGIS, just use QGIS without Grass plug-in first. Familiarize yourself with QGIS. Download and read QGIS manual. You can always install the Grass plug-in later.
If you used ArcMap before and not ArcInfo, mostly like to you don't need Grass at the moment. Most of QGIS users (including me) have a little use of Grass until you want advance Geoprocessing which can not do in QGIS. BTW, sort of things you want to use QGIS for forestry application. ( BTW,I am trying to use QGIS for forest management and Spatial forest estate modelling.) Noli On 3/11/12, Jake Maier <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm new to qgis.
