My suggestion would be to install the free Sun VirtualBox in Vista, and
then create a Linux server in that. I have one with Koha and other
applications running on my laptop. It works beautifully and will be a
great learning experience. <br>

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>

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version is hideously out of date.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