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. :-)
