Unlike the previous attempt, what excites me about this LiveDVD release is the surrounding work on having functional out-of-the-box binaries for Ubuntu Linux!
Building mapguide from source in linux has been a major source of pain and frustration and it is nice to have pre-built binaries to avoid all that mess.
There's still some hurdles to overcome, but sudo apt-get install mapguideopensource is that much closer to reality.
On a sidenote: full credit to Trevor Wekel from OTX Systems for spearheading this initiative. Please consider donating to support some of his other initiatives, among which is to have a stable GDAL raster provider, which is something we could all do with.
