Thanks. I had found this site and was surfing around too see what the 
possibilities are for this...gonna take some time to sift through it 
all. Do you by any chance have any advice to offer here? What you 've 
found that works well or what doesn't? Recommendations for particular 
applications? I am not a doctor and I don't play one on TV either but I 
do work with a medical practice from time to time. Some of their apps 
eat RAM for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Real hogs. Really bog down the 
machines. I have been kicking around the idea of asking them to try an 
open source solution but first I have to have one ready. So I am 
thinking of putting a box together with Fedora and some good medical 
management software for them to try. I know at least two of their 
programs (neither of which cause any problems) are just a client at 
their end connecting to a UNIX server, Medical Manager is one and the 
name of the other escapes me right now.  The big offender is apparently 
a program called , Centricity , which according to their tech support 
needs 1GB of RAM above the OS's needs to run well because of its slick 
little interface. I just want functionality, glitter is nice but it 
don't count for much in my book if the user is constantly dealing with a 
frozen application. All advice, opinions, etc are welcome.

Thanks,

Max
