Working as a system administrator in the computer departments of two German hospitals I get inspired to search for medical applications created with Linux software. So I have collected a survey of Linux software for the medical sciences in the Medicine-HOWTO.
Gerardo Arnaez took over maintaining this document. It's newer issues are now at the Linux Documentation Project - LDP(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Medicine-HOWTO/index.html) .
