[Live-demo] QGIS quickstart

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi John,
Thanks for offering to update the OSGeo-Live Quickstart. With your 
permission I'm CCing our email list, as there are others likely to have 
suggestions regarding what should be done to the qgis quickstart.

Yes, please go ahead and improve spelling/grammar as you see fit, as 
well as adding a few screen shots. (Note that we are installing qgis 
1.8, but 2.0 will come out for the next release). If possible, select a 
screen shot which will be timeless and won't need to change between 
versions.

If you are adding/deleting sections, then it would be good to run the 
idea past the list first.

With regards to writing style, please follow our guidelines as per:
