Todo
Setting up PostGIS right now, on 9.1 PostgreSQL. I used Stack Builder to get PostGIS 1.5; I will worry about 2.0 later. This machine should be fine with 1.5 since it's just for experimenting while I am on the road.
I had stack builder load a copy of Apache/Php too. What the heck.
Virtual machines
Using Virtualbox currently.
XP
I have XP set up as a virtual machine and also dual boot, I have to have it run natively so that I can use DeLorme Topo 9
