QGIS. However, I don't like the KDE interface. I still don't know
where can I get a map from. I think some basic map would be fine
with roads, waters, borders, etc. For start I don't think I need
any 3D information. I give a try to QGIS later this week. Later,
I'd like to move to GRASS.<br>

The window manager is pretty much irrelevant. QGIS runs under Gnome,
XFCE, KDE, Windows, OSX, .... <br>
Some of the popular sources of map layers, to get started, include:<br>
Global administrative boundaries: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gadm.org/">http://www.gadm.org/</a> <br>
Natural Earth data: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.naturalearthdata.com/">http://www.naturalearthdata.com/</a><br>
(and Moritz already mentioned OpenStreetMaps)<br>
