In regards to support, I was referring to the distribution supporting and offering outside support in house like RedHat and Novell/SuSE does directly. Ubunbutu (which I actually have Kubuntu going on my laptop) has support from third parties, but as with most third parties supporting a product there is that "use at your own whim" aspect and clause I suspect somewhere in the writing.
In the end, supporting Linux for any VistA implementation (in this case, just a base demo site) that was described in Mexico City by Dr. Alberto Odor (the original thread here) will be a must. Depending on the resources available (e.g., local or remote Linux savvy gurus) will depend on how easy it is to get things going here. As with most that have attempted "simple implementations" from scratch on the HH's list there have been some interesting trials with Linux distributions here, but most have succeeded in the end. :-) --- Crawford -- The Linux ETC Company 368 South McCaslin Boulevard P.M.B. 146 Louisville, CO 80027 USA +1 (303) 604-2550 (voice) +1 (866) 604-2550 (toll free within the US) +1 (303) 664-0036 (fax) http://www.linux-etc.com On Thu, 2005-05-26 at 20:19 -0700, "Bhaskar, KS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Message: 2 > Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] On Linux distributions (was Re: How do I > start?) > Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 21:19:43 -0500 > From: "Bhaskar, KS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > > Crawford -- > > Good to hear from you again - you've been quiet for a while! > > If you consider Debian to be a family of releases with a common package = > management system and database, rather than just the specific Debian = > GNU/Linux, then doesn't a distribution like Ubuntu = > (http://www.ubuntulinux.org) count as having commercial support (e.g., = > see http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/supportoptions/paidsupport and = > http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/supportoptions/marketplace)? > > Regards > -- Bhaskar > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
