Re: [udig-users] UDIG in schools
|
Hi Sindile,
we are doing it this together with Prof. Rigon from the Environmental
Engineering department of Trento (http://www.ing.unitn.it/dica/eng/).

We are using it for hydrology and geomorphology, i.e. almost only big
nice rasters, which leads to high ram, to do good calculations at
least 1 GB. But the dataindependent udig should work well also with
256 or so. Right now I can't find the min requirements on the udig
site.

What do you mean exactly?
> 3. Use shapefiles or postgis
Never had problem with that. In prior versions there were some editing
troubles, but the last releasecandidates are nice to use.
> 4. Any other issues I should consider
I think it really depends on what you need to do.
We are installing JGrass-udig on every pc itself and not centralized,
so I can;t tell you if and how that is ok. BTW, since it doesn't need
to be installed with admin rights, it is the less bureaucratic way to
go :)
