Guatemalan Hospital to Run Linux

Cheerio friends, it is travel time. I'm off to Antigua, Guatemala where I will be installing a RedHat Linux based hospital network in Antigua's all-volunteer Hermano Pedro hospital, traveling with a missionary medicine group Faith in Practice. Former Whataburger computers running OS/2 gave up their souls to run the network which was built in my house and shipped down last week. I'm planning on running Freemed and will give a trip report upon my return (unless I 'go native') in two weeks. I may be off the net for awhile, however, cutting edge, high-tech www.LinuxMedNews.com can be remotely administered so if there is a way, I'll get to it. Meanwhile, Captain Fantastic will be stepping in for me if I crash and burn over the Gulf of Mexico. If any funny stuff appears on LMN, it is him not me.

All the best, may medicine be freed of its bondage through open source!
