fyi GISVM was the basis for building the FOSS4G 2009 Sydney conference
LiveDVD+VM, [ http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/ ]. GRASS 6.4.0rc5+patch
is included on the FOSS4G build, along with Speafish & NC datasets and a
short raster wxGUI tutorial (same as found on the GRASS wiki).
(+ a lot of other interesting stuff to explore)
