Re: HIMSS Update: Red Hat and McKesson Offer 'Ente
by J. Hubbs on Friday December 14, @03:17PM

But Red Hat has no "F" in its "F/OSS." McKesson has merely chosen to add another vendor to Microsoft in its business-as-usual relationship with OSses. The situation would be little different if they chose to offer their software on Apple OS X.

What McKesson needs to do - and I'd love to get paid to help them accomplish this - is to now decouple their Linux version(s) from any one Linux distribution so that more hospitals can implement their products (by using truly free OS and other software). Medical IT implementors should have a choice as to which Linux distribution they deploy, including their own. That's what it *really* means to be "Linux-friendly."
