Visit OSGeoLive

OSGeoLive is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu that lets you try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. It provides pre-configured applications for a range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. It also contains sample datasets and documentation. To try out the applications, insert the DVD or USB thumb drive in a computer or virtual machine, reboot, press Enter to startup and login, and select and run applications from the Geospatial menu. OSGeoLive is an OSGeo Foundation project.
