OK, thank you. I have a good friend that has discovered the Open Source 
and is absolutely knocked. He's learning now about GNU/Linux and 
tinny-distributions (also about ClosedBSD and PicoBSD). He works with 
GIS and I think that it would be possible to add his knowledge about GIS 
on our wireless group.

But he uses Windows GIS software.

Anyway, thanks a lot.
