Spatial Analysis Software - Linux and Windows
I like the fact that as an engineer, I can do research and then implement it myself. It's really satisfying to build this stuff from scratch. I've spent the last 5 years of my life learning everything I can about spatial analysis. In my office I've built what I consider the ultimate spatial analysis workstations and servers, on top of both Linux and Windows operating systems. I thought I'd catalog the components I used and maybe analyze the capabilities of each.
Linux Server:
- Fedora Core Linux *
- PHP *
- PostgreSQL Database server *
- PostGIS Spatial Data engine *
- GRASS GIS *
- OpenEV *
- UMN Mapserver *
- MapLink PHP PostGIS client *
Linux Workstation:
- SUSE Linux 9.1 *
- GRASS GIS *
- MapLink *
- R statistical environment *
- GeoR geostatistical package for R *
- FWTools *
- OpenBUGS *
Windows Server:
- Windows Server 2003 *
- .NET Framework *
- ASP.NET *
- Oracle Spatial Database server *
- Arc Objects custom GIS utilities *
- Manifold GIS WebMap server *
Windows Workstation:
- Windows XP Pro *
- ArcGIS *
- SQL Server Desktop Engine *
- Tatuk GIS viewer *
- FWTools *
- R statistical environment *
- ArcObjects custom tools *
- OpenBUGS *
I'll keep these lists up to date as I learn about the best software out there and use it myself to do spatial analysis. If you know of spatial tools that I haven't listed here, please let me know so I can try them out.
