I have read about linux being put up onto a Palm/Handheld PC. That would be a truly impressive platform.

I have been curious for some time as to what the most minimal hardware
config that VistA has been implemented on. I think that it might be a
simple way to show a lay person how efficient VistA is compared to other
systems. Of course it's all relative as you may only be able to have one
user on the system....but nevertheless the fact that it can work
smoothly and responsively for even a single user is an accomplishment
compared to the bloatware trend that has been the norm in the past 10
years that has crippled my older but perfectly good computers.
I have been able to run the VA demo version (the one with the patient
data in it) natively on a Pentium 2, 300 mhz notebook, with 128mb of
memory (both CPRS and the Server), Windows 98. I have a Pentium 1, 90
mhz, 70someting MB of memory, running Debian which I will try to set up
as a server when I have some free time.
So anyone out there running it on a Commodore 64? Perhaps we should have
an ongoing contest for the smallest form factor and the oldest dinosaur
computer that VistA is made to run on?
