Paul,

A LiveCD/DVD would definitely be helpful to schools and to individuals who 
just want to try it out without having to take time installing things.  
Ubuntu seems like a good distribution for it.  I have no objections.

I'll try to have the source tarball and compilation README uploaded to 
hypnos.cbs.umn.edu/~pnaciona/osgis_ubuntu_src.tar.gz before the evening, your 
time.
