[HOT] An instant PC?

[john whelan]

I prefer windows but it does have a cost.  For FreePBX I think someone has
set up a DVD image that loads the Uinx operating system plus the software
preconfigured.

Does such a CD or DVD image exist for say Unix and JOSM or even Unix
preconfigured with a browser?

The idea would be to make it easier for people to map especially in
locations where money is tight and technical support hard to come by.

Thanks John

John,
Would the OSGeo Live DVD fit the bill?  Welcome to OSGeo-Live 10.0 — OSGeo-Live 
10.0 Documentation  It has JOSM installed and ready to go--along with tons of 
other GIS software!
Best Regards,
John Bocan

Hi Johns,

I think using the USB thumb drive option would be better as fewer computers 
have DVD drives nowadays.

One of the mappers I talk to from time to time had a machine die, they were
knowledgeable enough to rebuild it using Unix but after playing with
freePBX and knowing it can be done that's where the thought came from.

Wasn't the POSM project something like this?  I seem to be seeing more
mappers from different places and I wondered if something along these lines
might be useful.

External USB connected DVD drives are fairly inexpensive, could an ISO
image be booted from a USB stick?

I haven't looked at the OSGeo live DVD yet, I have an old dell laptop lying
around so I may try it shortly.

POSM & Red Cross had an excellent presentation at SOTMUS, and Seth
mentioned he'd be willing to set some up for the cost of hardware and
brownies (I assume that will become dependent on demand/appetite):
http://stateofthemap.us/2016/field-mapping-at-scale/


Nutshell: POSM is for mapping in low/no service areas. It can serve as a
local, disconnected OSM server, which can later push changes up to the main
OSM when in an area with service. They primarily use Intel NUC's (~$350 for
all hardware, runs off ~6w), but have installed it on Rasberry Pi, Intel
Edison, Beagle Bone, etc. I'm not aware of them doing a usb bootable
install, but might be possible? Red Cross uses $50 Android phones & Field
Papers for doing the mapping.

Pretty freaking cool project!
