[Live-demo] Experiences of using OSGeo Live 6.0 for MSc class teaching

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for your blog post. It is nice to see OSGeoLive being used for 
class teaching. I do this myself too :)

Also thank you for the feedback. About the slower booting of version 
6.0, I guess it has to do with some startup scripts we added to bypass 
an annoying mysql bug we had. We are planning to fix this in 7.0 as well 
as disabling the default tomcat from starting up during boot, which also 
takes time and memory.

Right now we are close to 6.5 release.

Regards,
Angelos
