<PRE>Dear friends,
I am a relative newcomer to both GRASS and Linux. However, the little I
have seen of both Linux and GRASS has interested me a great deal. In
September 2001, we shall be starting a new Bsc course in GIS and I plan
to use GRASS 5. This will be the first time a) Linux is being used in
the Gulf countries, and b) GRASS is being used in the same region. I am
based at a University in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. So,
although this may be the wrong list for me to send this email but, you
seem to be the knowledgable people regarding GRASS. OK – my question is
really a simple one. Now that I have decided to go ahead and design the
course based on Linux/GRASS, I need to know what version I should use,
and how to go about it. Are there any books around? Literature? Papers?
Anything?? I would bge grateful for any advice.
Many thanks,
Mike Francis
