GNUmed is free as in freedom but many users think it comes at a price. The price tag shows the resources you put in to make it run on your systems.
A long time ago we decided to make the installation process easier. This involved producing an installer for MS Windows. Few users have reported on their experience but it seems GNUmed benefits from its packaged versions. This holds true for Debian , Ubuntu and MS Windows. Just a few days ago a German doctor reported a problem with GNUmed 0.2.6.3. One E-Mail and a fix later he has been successful in bootstrapping a GNUmed database and running the client against it. Congrats. Way to go. While we don't know about his computer skills he is a doctor by profession and not a fulltime IT/IS guy. He asked about the scanner connectivity and framegrabber options and has since reported success. But what's worth even more is the bug he triggered and reported which makes us release version 0.2.6.4 in a few days which holds a number of fixes. He even supplied us with valuable information on how to connect the German legacy app 'DocConcept' to GNUmed through our great XML-RPC interface. As of now we have four (4) legacy apps in our Wiki which can interact with GNUmed without a single code change. Well thanks to our testers. For him updating to future versions will be a piece of cake. -- ************************************************************************* * * help solving the protein folding problem foldingathome.stanford.edu * * sign the linux driver petion : http://www.libranet.com/petition.html * ************************************************************************* Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
