The GRAMPS Project has released the Linux Genealogy Install CD 1.0. This is the companion CD to the Linux Genealogy Live CD (mentioned here a few weeks ago), which allowed you to run Linux and genealogy programs that run under Linux off of a “Live” CD (meaning you didn’t have to install Linux to your computer, you just put the CD in and booted off of it. This CD allows you to install Linux and the genealogy programs previously mentioned.

A major announcement (and an interesting one) from the GRAMPS Project :
The GRAMPS project is proud to announce the first release of the Linux Genealogy Live CD. This disc contains bootable Live Linux environment and added Linux Genealogical software. In particular, it makes a perfect gift for genealogists stuck with other OS-s! With this disc, you can boot and run Linux genealogical (and other) software without touching anything on the hard drive.
