----------------------+--------------------------
 There is some comment I made after testing OSGeo-live 9.5 alpha2.
 Everything I tried was working and major stuff was in french, so i happy
 with it.
 Here is just some feedback that might useful.
 It is mostly quickstarts , but i went a little forward on qgis and
 postgis.

 thanks to kalxas suggesting posting it here.(comments in brackets are his)


 Tests

     On LiveCD:

     System:

     Language choosing on start up -> Great stuff !

     Full screen after logging: Perfect !

     Updates: 66 packages, 328.3 Mo right after boot with osgeo-
 live-9.5alpha2-amd64.iso?

     17 packages, 165 Mo with build 62-amd64-96cd3d3 ?

     (we update most packages on each build, without kernel updates, so the
 older the build, the more updates it will ask for)

     On virtualbox, shutdown stop at "Stopping early crypto disks", maybe
 an Ubuntu issue.

     (upstream issue)



     PostGIS:

     It Lacks a PostGIS Database with recommended extensions postgis,
 postgis_topology, fuzzystrmatch..

     (postgis databases exist in the build, I am not sure about topology
 though)

     -- pgrouting DB has postgis enabled, but not postgis_topology.

     It think for educational purposes easier to have a model with the an
 explicit name and recommended extensions to use as a template. --


     pgAdminIII:

     Working, little bug that i already have on an other installation of
 Postgre/PostGIS:

     Get that message launching shp2pgsql via button:

     src/common/menucmn.cpp(715): assert "!IsAttached()" failed in
 SetInvokingWindow(): menus attached to menu bar can't have invoking window


     There is one enter in Databases and one in Programmation ?



     shp2pgsql:

     Works, import and export of shape files


     SqLite Gui:

     Working


     QGIS:

     2.12.1 version and in French: great ! Not problems so far


     QGIS Browser:

     Ok


     GRASS:

     Working


     gvSIG:

     Why is it in Graphism and not in Geospatial ?


     OpenJump:

     Working


     SAGA:

     working


     JSOM:

     working


     iPython:

     working


     Hexchat:

     Why not make Freenode default irc server and #osgeo-live channel too ?



     R:

     Seems working, why is it in Graphism?


     gv:

     Working


     Kosmo:

     Seems working, no english version ?


     TileMille:

     Working


     Sahana:

     Working


     Cartaro:

     Working


     Ushahidi:

     Launched but not installed ?


     GeoServer:

     Working






     After Install in Virtualbox:

     installation: No problems

     QGIS started in English (it was in French in live session), but it is
 easy to change.

     Not thing to had


     Software choice:

     It is just my opinion, don't take personally.

     Lubuntu:

     I'd rather have Xfce or mate than LXDE.  I know it is lightweighted, i
 spend 2 years on #! (so with openbox) and i liked it. But LXDE, no i can't
 bare it.


     Abiword/ Gnunmeric:

     For professional use, i think OpenOffice will be a better choice.


     Games:

     Why ?
