[gdal-dev] need suggestion on Linux OS

[Roger André]

I have been running a fairly complete open source GIS stack on a couple of
Ubuntu 8.04 machines for about 6 months.  I have had no problems getting
anything installed from source on them, and use the supporting libs that are
available via apt-get almost exclusively.  If anyone wants to see the
program manifest and the install steps, I'd be happy to send it to them.
