I got this book, and like it greatly. The CDs are also excellent,
especially Vol2 which has binaries for numerous scientific applications.
However, while I have not used the GRASS binaries on this CD, I don't
recommend them to people with a serious interest in GRASS. A. Holz's
old a.out GRASS CD is much better ($60.00). It includes source, binaries,
and the standard sample GRASS data, and can be ran from hard disk
or directly off of CD ROM. It also have any GRASS axililary programs
like xgrass. Unfortunately, it is a bit dated and hard to get.

Has anyone, other than the authors or interested parties, installed this
Linux distribution and GRASS binaries from this source? If so, would you
mind providing a short review?
