Astronaut CPRS in Linux

TMG-CPRS in Linux

• I have not been successful in running TMG-CPRS in Wine or on the Mono platform. However, there is no problem running in a virtual machine running Windows.

• Run TMG-CPRS in Windows in a VirtualBox virtual machine.

• Install VirtualBox in Linux. (I use Ubuntu/Kubuntu -- see Installing VirtualBox in Kubuntu.
• Create a new virtual machine. A virtual machine running Windows 98 should be satisfactory.
• Install Windows 98SE (or Windows XP if you have a spare license) in the virtual machine.
• Install the Astronaut CPRS package into Windows in the virtual machine as usual.
• Configure Windows so it starts up AstronautSSH as well as TMG-CPRS at startup. That way whenever the virtual machine starts, both the SSH tunnel and TMG-CPRS will start (without intervention).

• Create a Menu Item / Shortcut in Linux to start the virtual machine automatically.

OpenVistA in Linux

OpenVistA can run completely in Linux.

• Install the OpenVistA server.
• Install the Linux version of OpenVistA-CIS_client_package (which runs using the Mono platform).
