Peter -- Chris' suggestion to use OpenVistA VivA 0.4 is also a good one. You can download and burn an ISO image, and simply boot it to run OpenVistA and you can also install Linux, GT.M and OpenVistA on your hard drive from it. The Linux is a little dated (early 2004 vintage), but it is a Debian distribution, so it can be upgraded post-installation and kept current.
