Re: [Health] GNU Health on Mac Mini?

[Edgar Hagenbichler]

Hello Martin,
my experiences to share are that it was really complicated for me too to get 
GNUHealth running as a server. 
With the LiveCD I failed too. 
At least I managed to install OpenSuse 13.1 on my Media Akoya notebook. One of 
the problems with other Linux versions may depend on the UEFI booting, but I 
don't really know. It would be great to find a way to have a distribution which 
allows to install and use GNUHealth on any Windows PC, if necessary with making 
of a Linux partition, but with a real one-click installation. Since I am very 
motivated to use and to contribute to GnuHealth I spent a lot of (useless) time 
for installing it, but at the moment I would not recommend a server version for 
a physician or a health professional who is not a Linux expert. 
Best
Edgar
