[Freegis-list] FreeGIS CD 1.2.1

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Dear FreeGIS folks,

the FreeGIS-CD 1.2.1 for GNU/Linux systems has just been released.

Below is our official press release.

I hope we'll be able to keep the update interval since the Free GIS Software
developer community increases their pace towards integration and
new developments.

All the best

	FreeGIS-CD 1.2.1 for GNU/Linux systems released

  Meanwhile in its nineth edition (v1.2.1) the FreeGIS-CD offers again an
  updated and enhanced collection of geographic information procession
  capabilities to GNU/Linux distributions.

Osnabrück 31st of July 2002.

In a reduced interval of 3 months Intevation GmbH publishes
the FreeGIS-CD (v1.2.1) in its nineth edition.

The CD presents a collection of GIS applications, libraries and data
sets in current versions. It contains e.g. GRASS, MapServer,
gdal, PROJ und GLOBE. With Thuban now a simple viewer of geodata for the
visualisation of shapefiles is included.

The FreeGIS-Tutorial (in german language) explains how to do common GIS
task with Free Software. It is included on the CD in its HTML- and
PDF-Version. Printed copies are available separatly. The documentation on
the CD lowers with easy comprehensible commands the entry barrier towards
the GIS applications.

The now published FreeGIS-CD was tested on the major Linux based
GNU-Systems RedHat, Mandrake, Suse and Debian. 

"Free GIS Software has a high potential due to its great power and
flexibility. Both the development and the integration of the different
components progresses continously", explains Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner who is
responsible for the publishing of the FreeGIS CD at Intevation. "We bear in
mind this high dynamic by actualising and enhancing the FreeGIS CD
regulary."

The FreeGIS-CD v1.2.1 can be ordered for 30 Euros
through Intevation GmbH and ships out of Germany and North America.
