There is always a choice. Liz Dodd and Greg Markey for example are running Promedicus, former medibase. Backend runs on Firebird on Linux without any troubles, frontend runs on Win4Lin or even with newest versions of Wine Promedicus does not have all the bells and whistles that MDW has, nor is it's user interface as refined. But as long as you foucs on the core business (record progress notes, browse history, write prescriptions, browse path results, do recalls etc.) it ios a lot faster, is reliable and stable - and will open you an easy upgrate/migration path when future options bevome available In the meantime, we keep pushing development of a free alternative that runs natively on Linux - my current mini-gnumed and web interface are really only platform independent bolt-ons and extensions to said Medibase backend (nowadays called Promedicus) Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
