[Qgis-user] Installing QGIS on CentOS?

[Gerald Creager]

I'm resurrecting this thread... It'd be real nice if there were a methof 
to reduce the work needed to make QGIS work on CentOS.

Getting it to work in Fedora has always been pretty straightforward. 
CentOS, however, follow RHEL which is much more stable than, e.g, Fedora.

We're trying to install from source now. I'm not sure it's uncomplicated...
