Bhaskar, Thanks for the references! I forgot about the Acculturation CD, but my only problem with it was the need to boot it. Most of my development time is spent in little snippets between patients and I need the computer booted with Windoze for my dictation system. I can PuTTY to the linux box between patients to play in my newly configured GT.M "sandbox" for a couple of minutes at a time but rebooting is a hassle.
As if you don't have anything else to do, what would be great is a set of the exercises (even just a mini "course" document with just written instructions) that could be run in a working GT.M/Linux environment with either a development or integration VistA system already installed. I, of course, have no idea how difficult this would be, but that's my $0.02 worth. Mike K.S. Bhaskar wrote: > Mike -- > > Sounds like you figured out a safe way to do it.
