Use an ip address at the choose database window if the computer name isn't working. You might have to edit this file manually to define the connection. Make sure FreeDentalConfig.xml is present in the same folder as OpenDental.exe. Launch Open Dental like this: $ mono OpenDental.exe Installation of Open Dental itself simply involves copying all files in C:\Program Files\Open Dental from a Windows computer directly into a folder on a Linux computer (we used /usr/local/opendental/). See or you can use the instructions here for a different way of updating Mono: mono.doc. You will need to use that version of Mono or later. The flavor of Linux shouldn't matter, but we tested it on Suse 10.3 with Mono 1.2.6. So you will need to install Mono before installing and using Open Dental. It will also run on the Mono framework, an adaptation of dotNet for Linux. Open Dental runs on the dotNet Framework, a Microsoft technology. It only remains here for programmers who might be interested in Linux development. 
The information below is from that time period and has not been updated. The most recent version on which Open Dental was running on Linux was 5.6.
Bootcamp: Boot up your Mac with either Mac OS or Windows. Parallels: Run Windows in a virtual machine inside Mac OS. Mac users may be interested in these tools that run Windows. The Open Dental client program cannot run on Linux or Mac OS. Running the Open Dental Client on Workstations Windows 7 and 8 also get around the 10 computer limit because they have a higher limit of 20 computers. 
To get around the 10 computer limit for the A to Z Folder, simply get a network attached hard drive.Unlimited computers can connect to the database on an ordinary Windows workstation in spite of the 10 computer limit.The server needs to be able to host the MySQL/MariaDB server and the image files, but does not need to be able to run Open Dental itself. Your Open Dental server can always be Linux (tested) or MacOS-X (not tested). The information below is useful to those interested in running Open Dental in a Linux Server or Mac OS environment.
