[Qgis-user] qgis on linuxmint?

[Lee Hachadoorian]

Agustin,

I suppose it depends on what you don't like about Ubuntu. I also use 10.04,
and am planning on upgrading to 12.04 but keeping the GNOME desktop
environment. But if you're looking to get away from Ubuntu, what about the
OSGeo-Live distro? It's based on Xubuntu and comes pre-loaded with QGIS and
a bunch of other GIS software, as well as other goodies like R. I've used
it occasionally to test some of the applications that aren't in the regular
Ubuntu repos.

Best,
--Lee
