Lazy? ... Want GIS?

HostGIS Linux is a Linux/GNU distribution specifically made for handling GIS information. HostGIS Linux saves hours or days of installing MapServer and its components, and will have you serving GIS maps in minutes. It includes:
  • All the usual amenities of a Linux distribution: compilers, Perl, etc.
  • Apache webserver, with PHP
  • MapServer, and MapScript for PHP, Perl, and Python
  • PDFlib, with support built in to PHP, Perl, Python, and MapServer
  • PostGIS-enabled Postgres database server
  • MapServer Web Client (MWC) to display great interactive maps without designing any HTML or JavaScript
  • Example apps already installed demonstrating WMS layers, PostGIS layers, and PHP/MapScript

    Being a Linux, HostGIS Linux is of course completely open source and may be downloaded free of charge.
