ncWMS now available on OSGeo-Live DVD 7.0

ReSC's ncWMS software is now available packaged with the excellent OSGeo-Live DVD. This is:

"a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Xubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. It provides pre-configured applications for a range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. It also contains sample datasets and documentation."
(quotes from the OSGeo-Live website)

The DVD contains a pre-installed version of ncWMS together with sample data. Thanks to Cameron Shorter and Guy Griffiths for making this happen!
