[Qgis-developer] Installed Qgis on Ubuntu - what do I do next?

[Christopher Stark]

Hi Marco,

thank you this works. Is there a more comfortable way of displaying a
map - with a web-frontend-page or do I have to type in every command
manually like this

e.g.:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/world/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&
REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-36.215710,6.817432,-9.700450,58.551008&
CRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1077&HEIGHT=552&LAYERS=Continent,Country,Cities&
STYLES=,,&FORMAT=image/jpeg&DPI=96

It seems to be very complicated and time consuming to work like this (as
I'm a big GUI-fan)

Best regards
Christopher
