 Version 6.0 of the OSGeo-Live GIS software
collection<http://live.osgeo.org>has been released, and will be
officially launched at OSGIS
2012 <http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/osgis/home.aspx>, the Open Source GIS
conference in Nottingham, UK, 4-5 September.
 Release Highlights  *Applications*  All geospatial applications on the
disc have been updated to their latest stable releases.   *OpenJDK 7*  All
OSGeo-Live java applications have been successfully
migrated<http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_28>to
OpenJDK 7. Migration to OpenJDK was driven by Oracle's announcement
that
including Sun Java in Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, or OSGeo-Live,
is no longer allowed.   *Translations*  There has been significant
activity<http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/lang_stats.html>translating
OSGeo-Live documentation. Core documents are available in ten
languages, and comprehensive translations are available for many other
languages, including: Catalan (*new*), Chinese (*new*), English, French (*
new*), German, Greek, Italian (*new*), Japanese, Korean (*new*), Polish,
Spanish   Xubuntu 12.04 LTS  The Xubuntu base has been upgraded to 12.04
LTS (*Long Term Support*)  About OSGeo-Live

OSGeo-Live is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB flash drive and Virtual
Machine based upon Ubuntu Linux that is pre-configured with a wide variety
of robust open source geospatial software. The applications can be trialled
without installing anything on your computer, simply by booting the
computer from a DVD or USB drive, or running in a Virtual Machine
environment. An accompanying collection of lightning
presentations<http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/promo/trunk/en/presentation/>introduce
the breadth and depth of Free and Open Source for Geospatial.

   pre-configured
   - Free world maps and geodata
