OSGeo-Live is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around.
The set of scripts in this directory tree will make a GIS Virtual
Machine and bootable ISO from a base Xubuntu system.
