[Hardhats-members] VISTA
I have finally purchased a 80G HD for use with VISTA. Should I use LINUX or is there a version that doesn't require it? I am a VA employee that works with setting up files in the lab. I would use this to test changes in files without actually being on the production account at work. Ronald H. Ponto
Re: [Hardhats-members] VISTA
I think I will go the LINUX route. I have available Knoppix, Fedora Core 3, Slackware, SUSE, Debian GNU, DSL, Gentoo, Feather, Insert and Coyote Linux from my Linux Bible 2005 CD's. Which would be the best to use? I assume that the steps to follow are: Install Linux, Install GT.M and then VISTA; am I correct? ---Original Message--- From: K.S.

If you choose GT.M, then you apparently cannot run natively on Windows, and I'm pretty sure that OS X on ther PowerPC is not supported. I've been meaning to see if it would compile under FreeBSD or OpenDarwin on the IA-32 platform, but haven't had either the time or the spare hardware. Cache' runs nicely on a variety of platforms (including Linux, I believe), but I think the cube is only available under Windows, meaning the directions on Hardhats for setting up VistA are not directly applicable to Cache' on other platforms. I would love to see a way to natively install on OS X (or other Unixes), but I don't know if anyone has actually worked out the procedure. === Gregory Woodhouse[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Interaction is the mind-body problem of computing." --Philip L.

The VistA Imaging front end requires a propriatary component that pretty much everyone has given up one. If you want to spend ~$1000 to buy it, then you should be ready to go.2. The server backend will work with other solutions. I wrote an extension to CPRS that adds an "IMAGES" tab. On this tab, I embedded an instance of internet explorer. I then make the RPC calls that ask if any images are available for the currently selected patient. If so, then the image is downloaded and displayed in CPRS. There are advantages and disadvantes to this solution (The primary disadvantage is that one has to copy all the programmed changes in CPRS into every subsequent release of CPRS). HUI is essentially done with their imaging front-end solution. They also use propriatary components which means that you can't get the code and fiddle with it. But the good thing about their solution is that they can distribute their final compiled .exe file. You can therefore use their solution. It involves having a stand-alone application that listens to CPRS broadcast messages and syncs itself with the currently selected patient.Does that answer your question?
