Change the language if you do not want to keep the German settings for Windows. Log

==Using your own laptop or PC==
 
 
We prefer using Free and Open Source Software because this enables you to install the
 
software on your own computer without paying for costly licenses to learn and continue
 
your work at home. Here are the links to download the software from the internet and
 
install it yourself:
 
 
Quantum GIS http://qgis.org , available for Windows XP and Vista, MacOS and
 
Linux.
 
 
===Installation Guide for Windows===
 
 
# Download the OSGeo4W setup program from http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Download#OSGeo4W_InstallerQGIS and save it to a temporary folder.
 
# Open the folder and double-click on Setup file osgeo4w-setup.exe to start the installation.
 
# Choose{{tool|text=Desktop Fast Installation}}
 
# Browse to the path where you want to have Quantum installed or take the default:'' C:\OSGeo4W'' and click {{tool|text=For all users}}
 
# Under “Choose Packages” please unmark the checkboxes “uDig” and “OpenEV”. Go on and wait until all files are copied.
 
# A link with a yellow Q called "Quantum GIS 1.5.0 " should appear on the desktop. Delete the other icon links on the desktop called "Mysys", “OsGeo4W” and "Grass".
 
# Start Quantum GIS by double clicking on the accordant icon.
 
# Uninstallation is easy done by deleting the installation folder and the icon. If you get an error message caused by a previous installed plugin, please install the newest plugin version under {{mitem|text=Plugin → Fetch Python Plugin}}.
 
 
===Trying out Linux?===
 
 
If  you are interested to try out a Linux OS on your own Windows PC, we  recommend to install Linux Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 (http://www.ubuntu.com).  You can install Ubuntu onto a computer alongside a copy of Windows. You  will be able to select whether to start Ubuntu or Windows each time  your computer starts up or you can try to run Ubuntu on a CD alongside  your current system.
