What we have have found instead, is that Ubuntu Desktop with GTM and VistA installed makes a great development environment, all free. The Ubuntu desktop version competes very well with Windows for features and usability. Install GT.M and VistA and you can quickly access a Mumps programming environment, or use Fileman,or directly access VistA menus, routines and source code. The Ubuntu Terminal gives easy access to VistA as a roll-n-scroll user. Unfortunately, to use CPRS you would need to connect another Windows machine through your LAN, or use CPRS in Crossover on Ubuntu (but this is supposedly not at a clinically usable level of development yet).[[User:ssw0213| --ssw0213]]
