Comments(2) February’s quick links:
- Via my new colleague (Hi Ben), some tutorials for using QGIS and GRASS as opposed to (or in conjunction with) ArcGIS on an archaeological project
- Andlinux- a different way of accessing linux-based programmes without going through cygwin. I’ve managed to get GRASS installed, though I haven’t tried it out in anger yet.
- A n00bs guide to installing linux programmes from source. Don’t be scared, it’s not that bad, though I’d add in how to get the command line to send it’s output to a log file for those times when it all goes wrong and you didn’t happen to catch the error as it scrolled past really fast…

Paul Ramsey just posted the definitive guide to installing linux programs from source. It is a must read.

Hey Bruce,
I like it a lot! Particularly the aspirin and orange juice bit at the end…
Cheers
