I am very pleased to see a GIS user posting to debian-devel. Are you aware of the Debian GIS group? We are working to make Debian the best possible platform for processing and using georeferenced information. Please check out the group pages on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis/> and the news letter we sent out a few weeks ago, <URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/10/msg00005.html>. It would be nice to know if any of the free software available is providing similar functionality to the MIPs package, and what should be improved in the free software tools to make it a viable alternative.
