Marble in a Box


Marble with clouds

Marble is a fantastic KDE application giving a view to the world. Viewing the earth from top, checking street maps with the data from OpenStreetmap, visualizing data on a global scale. Marble does all this and more with beauty and efficiency.

Marble runs on a lot of platforms and doesn't pose much special requirements on the hardware. To make it even easier to get a hand of Marble I built some live CDs, which you can use to try out or demonstrate Marble. Just boot them on a random computer and enjoy.

If you would like to help building Marble live CDs or create one on your own, contact me



SUSE Studio, where all the images were hosted, has been discontinued. So the links in this section don't work anymore. Marble is available in all relevant Linux distributions. So you find it there.
