GRASS GIS Live Software
GRASS is available on various live CDROMs/DVDs/USB sticks.
The variants below offer pre-installed GIS software (Live Linux).
No need to install anything on the hard disk, you can just run it out
of-the-box by booting from the CD-ROM, DVD, or USB-stick. There is
no need to install or configure Linux. The hard disk remains untouched.
