The price has come done, but I wouldn't call it cheap in Africa. A 1Tb NAS cost me the equivalent of three months groceries for my family. > ECW is easy to compile on Linux. I never tried to compile MrSid. MrSid seems to becoming the standard format for government raster data here, so I self compile. Compiling on Ubuntu with MrSid libs is no big deal and the performance of the MrSid SDK is excellent, in my experience. Those that need ECW and MrSid and feel strongly against compiling themselves, should hire someone to do it for them.
