       This document describes how to acquire, install and configure
       a powerful scientific public-domain Geographic Information
       System (GIS): the Geographic Resources Analysis Support System
       (GRASS). It provides information on other resources for
       learning more about GRASS, GIS in general, for acquiring data,
       etc. This document also encourages the Linux community to
       consider enhancing this software as a major application of
       UNIX/Linux. ("When will Linux become bundled with public
       domain or Linux Public License 'killer apps'"?) For more on
       this topic, see Section 8 below.
