CISN Display CentOS

Introduction

This page will attempt to document the creation of a kiosk type display of the CISN Display. The CISN Display software displays near real-time earthquake location information available via the network. A complementary component would be a waveform viewer showing seismograms (in real time) from various locations around California (or beyond), but we have not had time to mount a concerted effort along those lines yet.
