[Qgis-user] Migration to Linux

[Hernán De Angelis]

Although not mentioned very often, openSUSE is also a user friendly, 
stable and high quality distro. I am a user since 2005 and have seldom 
had any problem in all those years. As for QGIS and other geotools there 
is the Application:Geo repository that is well updated and maintained. 
My choice however is to compile QGIS from source every once in a while. 
It is not so difficult as it sounds but perhaps not everyone's cup of tea.

/H.
