[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo-Live 5.0 released - the Open Source Geospatial DVD

Thu Sep 8 10:12:58 PDT 2011

Cameron,

Awesome job on this. I download it last night burnt a dvd and booted it 
to my laptop. Works great! Now I'm sorry that pgRouting and PAGC do not 
have submission on the DVD. I guess I will have to work on getting them 
on the next iteration.

Thanks for all your effort on this.
