Well, most people only ever talk and never *do* anything.

The first stable release was on September 14th 2005:

The next release is "not too far off at all" in Open Source
terms.

I would not expect the "average open source user" to be able
to setup a reliable networked EMR for my practice (I'm a
doctor, too, even I would delegate that job).

GNUmed is a true client-server application. A user needs to
run a client on their machine. They also need a PostgreSQL
database to connect to. To ease this process we offer a
bootable CD which is configured to connect to a public
database reachable over the internet. This is, of course,
slow. All the pertinent information can be gleaned from our
documentation at

I'd be happy to have you try out the next release. Please do
stay tuned and report critically.

Perhaps you con contribute valuable information to Fred
Trotters (?) Wiki of FOSS EMR application evaluations (don't
have the URL handy, sorry).
