[GRASSLIST:2012] Re: Newbie introduction

[Lars Bromley]

Use 5.0pre, works just fine. I've used three distors with GRASS (Slackware, Mandrake, and Red Hat) and all worked fine.

Hope it helps,
Lars

Dear GRASS List,

I am certainly a newbie at GIS, and GRASS.
I have a VA linux box with 6.2.3 (~RedHat 6.2).
It uses a celeron 400 for processor.

1) Should I install and use 4.3 Grass or 5.0.0pre1?

2) Is there a page of documentation suggesting which Distros will work well
with GRASS?

3) Has anyone used with GRASS GIS, from USGS and
http://terraserver.microsoft.com 
to collect the 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 meter black and white images of the USA.
And the "World File" data for each image, to use with GIS?

Thank you,

-Nathaniel
