Warnell GIS and Spatial Analysis

There are some excellent how-to's for those of us who want-to or need-to (do something in a Linux environment). Perry Geo, for instance, has a good tutorial on how to create an Ubuntu GIS Workstation. QGIS, one of the mapping packages referenced in the article, turns out to be a pretty good linux-based mapping package, minus a very important feature - MrSID support. Lucky for us, though, there is a how-to to add MrSID support.

Here is the original post which is in Portuguese (original how-to). With a little help from Google Translate, here is the link for those of us who can't speak Portuguese.

I got this to work on a machine running Ubuntu 8.04.
