Developed in Brazil. Seems to be based on Ubuntu, but has a lot of hi-end mapping and scientific visualization software pre-installed. As someone who has installed most of those programs from source, I can tell you that this is a good thing. I'd love to try it out, but I'm having a hard time making room for stuff like that these days. It would be awesome if my Thinkpad had an easy-access hard drive bay, I would swap stuff in and out of there all day long.
Some of the built-in stuff they include:

(that list won't mean much to you unless you're in the mapping industry)

If they got Grass to work, they've done well. I tried that on my Mac and it's a mess to install.

I had grass running in Fedora from an rpm - the dependency list was 10 miles long. So yeah, I could see how building an install package would be difficult.

What application can take logged gps coordinates and produce a 3d plot and tell speed etc at different points?
I had this idea for a simple proof of concept project for 3d canvas on the web.

QGIS should be able to do it.
