Since it will likely be quite a wait for VistA-Office, if you are using a Windows box, I would suggest starting out with the Installation instructions on the Hardhats web site found by clicking on Projects on the lower left hand side of the www.hardhats.org web site and installing FOIA VistA on Cache on Windows.
Once you are OK with that, if you want to try it with GTM on Linux, you can use that a number of different ways, including using a CD for the OS on a Windows box with a thumb drive, etc., and that can be found on SourceForge at the WorldVistA project page. The Client side currently runs on a Windows machine. There is a wiki at http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/index.php?title=Main_Page that has help with installation and configuration as does Kevin's site at www.geocities.com/kdtop3 . You will find that once you have it installed that you have just scratching the surface and that trying to figure out how to configure it is the tough part, but you will certainly be kept busy for a few hours just getting it installed. That is one of the things VistA-Office will make much easier. Once you get it installed, the process of configuration is almost identical on GTM/Linux and Cache/Windows. When you have a Windows computer and you are just getting started, having everything running on one computer is usually helpful especially if you are carting around a single laptop and don't have a way to connect to a remote server.

I have many clients who are also interested in this product. I have no background in vista, and I am aware that vista-office is not available yet, but my question is this, where should I begin, to learn all about vistaand it's support? What should I be working on or studying in the mean time to eventually become a vendor for this product. Many of my former clients want to switch over to an EMR product and want me to support them. I am not versed in MUMPS, i have a windows background with some sco unix as well, just not sure what I should be learning in the meantime. Any and all help is much appreciated, thank you -- Nancy Anthracite ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
