re: linux. I'd love to install on Linux but I don't have a linux machine or even a dedicated windows server. What I have is a computer lab with 3 vista computers, 4 old clunky XP, and the occasional laptop that floats in or out. Any way to make koha feasible on a windows vista box, or do I abandon koha and look elsewhere? I'm not wedded to the idea of koha, I'm just looking for the best open-source web-access bibliographic (no circulation, just plain access to and capacity to easily add bibliographic records) engine. Tips? <br>
