Does anyone know a free, preferentially small and simple, GIS
application to perform the following tasks ?

- georeferencing of rasters (1st, 2nd, 3rd degree polynomial)
- coordinate system conversion for rasters and shapefiles
- shapefile editing

Thanks in advance for your help.

QuantumGIS with the Georeferencer plugin should fit the bill, since it
does Helmert transformation.

QuantumGIS with the GRASS plugin.

Again QuantumGIS.

Don't mention.

ILWIS from ITC, now open source, is also a good choice. Did all 3
things that J mentioned, and bunch of advance analysis.
