Mark is right.  VistA on GT.M will run on just about any contemporary release 
of just about any major Linux distribution.  The only dependencies are glibc 
and libncurses.

Distro wars are fun, though.  Not unlike a good pillow fight where nobody gets 
hurt and everybody has a grand time!

No offense, but Linux is the kernel, the kernel is Linux.  The Fedora Core 2 
distribution is still supported and there is nothing wrong with it.  I run 
GT.M on my old Red Hat 9 box without a problem 466 Celeron with 512 RAM.

I run "bleeding edge" Fedora Core 3 servers without a hitch.  I haven't lost 
much blood running Red Hat/Fedora.  But this isn't the place for distro wars.  
If you are running a machine with a recent version of the Linux kernel on it, 
chances are you can run GT.M and VistA.  It doesn't matter which distribution 
of Linux you are running.

Go to the Wiki young man, read the wonderful works of Nancy, Kevin 
Toppenberg.... and my little howto on getting GT.M on Linux going.  After 
getting everything installed you will have some different questions.

Welcome to the incredible journey...... that never ends..... now where is my 
Mumps reference book.......
