The Esri Geoportal Server LiveDVD Demo was released on Monday, May 14th. The demo provides a self-contained Linux operating system with a fully operational geoportal. You can evaluate your own personal geoportal without having to worry about installing or configuring one on a test machine. It works both as a bootable LiveDVD or a virtual machine (VM).
