QGIS is available on Windows, MacOS X and Linux. Binary packages are provided for the current version. The current version is QGIS 1.5.0 'Tethys' and was released on 29 July 2010.
Quantum GIS is open source software available under the terms of the GNU General Public License meaning that its source code can be downloaded through tarballs or the Subversion repository (SVN).
For testing and learning purpose, we also provide a sample dataset, which contains collections of data from different sources and in different formats, like GPS data, a small GRASS location, GeoTiff, ERDAS Img, Shape or GML formats.
| Warning: Development versions from trunk are provided for some platforms additionally to the released version. Trunk contains unreleased software that is currently being worked on. As such they are unsupported and only provided for testing purposes to early adopters to check if bugs have been resolved and that no new bugs have been introduced. At any given time it may not work, or may do bad things to your data. Use as your own risk. You have been warned. |

Alaska
There is a QGIS Alaska sample dataset available including raster, imagery and vector data in several formats including a GRASS database. The dataset contains a collection of data from several sources and can be used according to their different licenses. A README file with more information is shipped with the dataset. The dataset is projected as Alaska Equal Area with unit feet (EPSG 2964). The QGIS manual contains many examples based on these data.
The windows installer has an option to download these data during installation, for other OS you can download the dataset.
GRASS' Spearfish
For extensive testing and working with GRASS functionalities included in the QGIS GRASS-Plugin, there are also many sample GRASS data, e.g. the Spearfish or North Carolina sample locations available from the GRASS GIS project.
