Regarding that we need , certain hardware specifications in order to run medical practice related software , i believe we don’t need that much higher specifications , as well as with successful examples of open source linux based OS , why not we don’t see an example of a Medical or health care system that uses these mix of technologies ( Open source , Linux , Low hardware specifications , .. ) to build something more usable and dependable and cheaper that we see these days ?!
