Hi,
Remember somebody getting this quickly working using the Turnkey appliances and installing the OpenEMR Ubuntu package on it. Could likely either use the “Core” or “lampstack” appliance:
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/core
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack
(probably try the lampstack first since it provides a bunch of nice feature to admin apache/mysql/etc.)

I had good luck with using the Turnkey Linux LAMP stack for OpenEMR. I have detailed notes if you decide to pursue this.
I have not trying running a “production” openemr deployment but I did create a tempory test of concept Amazon instance for disaster recovery. What make it really nice is you can do your testing, configuring etc on a physical or virtual box. Then you use the built in TKLBAM backup to create diff file of the changes you made to default LAMP image to the amazon cloud.
Then all you have to do is create a Amazon cloud instance of the default TKL LAMP applicance and migrate all your changes to it with a simple restore. This migrate process works with virtual, physical or cloud “machines” as the target.
Personally I am not to the point I can migrate everything to the cloud but it is nice have it a disaster recovery option. I really like the automated back up to amazon and it only runs 0.15/G per month. I am doing a full backup once a week with daily incremental backups. Not sure what it will run once we get to full production but it beats the heck out of manually changing tapes. Of course I am still making daily full backups with the build in backup functions, but I don’t stress near as much if I miss one now!
