I am sure this depends upon where you stand now compared to 5 years ago.
Since my perspective is still that of a US academic medical center, I
would have to say the technological landscape is in more turmoil then
ever before and the status of linux in medicine is just as uncertain now
as it was 5 years ago.

Certainly from the research perspective both linux, in the form of
affordable super computer clusters and Mac OS X in the form of desktop
alternative and as a server hub for a unit or lab, the momentum is
clearly established.  But in classrooms, homes and offices, little
impact is felt.
