I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.

Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?

GE imaging kit (certainly their CT scanners) do (or did for as long as I used them) run on Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
