Hi,

this is blatantly off-topic for Xymon, but hey ... it is my mailing 
list :-)

I am curious if anyone has experience with a couple of GIS 
(Geographical Information Systems) tools: MapServer - www.mapserver.org 
- and GeoWebCache - www.geowebcache.org. In particular what kind of 
hardware they need. MapServer apparently is a CGI program that generates 
map images, and that sounds a bit heavy to me; GeoWebCache is a cache 
for map images and I recon that needs a fair chunk of disk storage.

Any replies directly to henrik at hswn.dk, please - note that you'll have 
to edit the "To" field.

Regards,
Henrik
