For South Africa, we just needed Windows XP or Vista and Visual Basic .NET
Express Edition (though C# or SharpDevelop would also work). Of course these
have to be installed before hand - can't be run from a live CD (I'll look
into what can be done from a Live CD with Windows and post back here.)
At FOSS4G2008 We ran Windows XP as a base install. This worked quite
well for the South African environment and for the particular
conference, which included a lot of folk who were less exposed to Linux.
I feel that this choice was determined by our audience in the end. Some

Thank you for outlining the steps necessary to obtain a wiki
projects that are Windows based to gain exposure (like MapWindow, which
almost certainly increased its user base as a result of a strong
conference presence).
Very true. We actually got a conference spike in downloads and also in the
number of *.za people on our mailing lists. I'm a
Thank you for the suggestions, Alex.
