Hello All,
Using opendent for a month on single xp home pc for now. Had some teething (oops, wrong word to use on this forum )problems, then found some bugs with conversion but overall everybody including the dentist is happy with what we got now.
It is time to go multi-user. I have open-suse 10.3 server raid mirroring, mysql ... up and running. I plan to follow instructions on following site http://wiki.gacq.com/index.php/Open_Dental to copy data from windows xp home machine to Linux server.
I will be leaving database security to mysql (not sharing folder on samba) creating individual user/passwd for each user.
I have already tried above mentioned procedure with trial version and it seemed to work for one xp home and one linux user, but not sure about anything else I need to do. This time it is production data. I want to be really sure. Any pointers? Any gotchas?
BTW I have created a common area under /home/common/open-dent and using samba to share a-z folders but had problems to make open-dent go and look over there for each user. for e.g. if I use Z: drive for one user and Y: Drive for another user, open-dent seems to have problems. I also plan to have one or two opensuse clients. I could not find information on creating persistent share on opensuse server and how to plug that information in open-dent (syntax?)

Re: using opensuse 10.3 server
It is easier to just copy the database files to the Linux computer than it is to go through the backup/restore sequence listed on that page.
As for the Z: drive versus Y: drive problem, it's easier to use the computer name, like this: \\server\OpenDentImages\
