> I am looking for some ideas about software. I have been asked to teach
> GIS to under Grad and Grad students.
>
> Here is the situation:
> 1: we run MAC, Linux, XP on the desk tops. (I am looking for GIS software
> that runs on all platforms.)
>
> 2. I can not incur a large recurring cost or high setup costs for
> multiple machines.
>
> What I have so far is:
> Software Cost Platforms Comments
> QGIS Free (open source) Mac, XP, Linux
> limited XP
> TNTLite Free (limited capability) Mac, XP, Linux
> limited data size
> Grass Free (open source) Mac, XP, Linux
> steep setup
>
> 3. For web services, It will start on a Linux (maybe windows server in 6
> months)
> Software
> MN MapSever Free (open source)
> WebView Professional $360 (Educational License that is
> extension in ARCGIS)
>
> If I get a Windows server
> Software
> MN MapSever Free (open source)
> Manifold $300 (fully functional)
>
> Thanks for any ideas or suggestions
