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? 2009/9/5 Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz>
Hi Friends,
I'm migrating an old clunky Access DB of bibliographic records to something more platform and software-independent, a web-based open-source solution. I started with Greenstone, which seems ok for static data, but it's really a chore to get new records in the system (especially for non-techies, which most of my sisters -- I'm a nun working on a convent library -- definitely aren't). I've heard that Koha is better, but I can*not* get the darn

to install.
Greenstone and Koha are for 2 totally different things. Greenstone is a digital repository and Koha a library management system. Greenstone you store digital content in, and search over. Koha you run a library with.
So first off which is it you actually want to do? Secondly the windows version is hideously out of date. You are far better off installing the latest stable version on linux.
