[Live-demo] Running OSGeo-Live in Apache VCL

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Vaclav,

We have not tested this use case in the recent releases, so there might 
be more than QGIS and GRASS.
It would be very useful to have a volunteer run all the quickstarts 
using a custom user to confirm what is working.

Best,
Angelos
