Anyone given though to creating a VM for OpenEMR - FeeB and SQL Ledger in a fully working condition and then keeping the VM on torrent for download and share. VMWare has a FREE VMPlayer available and anyone can download that and run the VM.
Thoughts??

I already offer this as a service, including support for getting started. See http://www.sunsetsystems.com/node/4 .
It’s a great way to try out OpenEMR with your own data and without the limitations of the online demos, and it can even be used to run a small clinic.
I don’t do this for free because it’s too time-consuming. However someone else may be willing to, and they would have my blessing.

I am a satisfied customer.
I consider myself to be a pretty good programmer, but setting up the mess of stuff you need to have everything working together properly takes a lot of time and effort. I needed to get up and running quickly, so I bought a vm from Rod.
It is definitely worth it. I was up in no time. It was a matter of copying the vm to my Windows XP laptop and starting it up. All of the computers in the office were able to log on immediately.
I have since moved the server to a Red Hat desktop machine, which was just a matter of copying over the vm files and starting it up again. Now the server sits in a locked room, but the guest OS set up by Rod is still running everything.
I have one small suggestion for Rod:
Add a few more printer drivers! The selection in Ubuntu seems pretty limited. I finally found a Deskjet 960c that worked. You need a printer hooked up to the server if you want to print the hcfa 1500 forms. I guess when buying a printer, its a good idea to look at the list of existing installed drivers first.
