[postgis-users] Res: [Annouce] GISVM Base

[Birgit Laggner]

Hi Ricardo,

did you already notice the OSGeo Live project? I think they are working 
on something similar (Virtual machines or boot DVDs with preinstalled 
open-source GIS applications). I did not try it yet, but perhaps it 
would be worth a look for you:

Regards,

Birgit.
