RosLims : Medical Students Linux Distro
As I am tracking the medical activities in linux area , i found some distros , applications and projects dedicated to medical field and medical audience , But ROSLIMS is crossing the edge ..
ROSLIMS – link – is a ROmanian Simple , Linux for Medical Students ) , Which is a live linux CD based on Debian -Knoppix , It fully localized for Romanian language , and contains an Additional package for medical students .
Polish linux community is one of the powerful unix communities – yet in the world , they ran one of the most popular linux site – PolishLinux.org – link – , and they already produced many linux distros . ROSLIMS indicates they already have significant number of medical students among their linux community , and hopefully next generation of doctors who can deal more with linux and freedom .
In my own personal perspective , as a powerlinux user , i don’t find it useful to spam the community of linux users ( especially the newbies ) with new linux distros which mostly nothing more than a customization of the interface and software packages for another parent distro .

I may respect your opinion as a “powerlinux user”. But for sure, even if you are a poweruser, you present your opinion without testing the distribution you talk about. Because if you will test the distribution (the last version which was distributed togheter with the book First steps in Linux, Polirom Publishing House, 2006) you may see that Roslims was one of the first Linux distribution which implemented cmg support (klik.atekon.de), was the first distribution outside Japan that implemented MultiVNC, a very good remote teaching and monitoring environment and was tweaked to run a lot of cross platform (medical) software in a linux based synchronous learning environment.
. I don't expect apologies from you, but in future when you say something about a distro, please be sure that you try it before…
For these reasons (and others) Roslims received 3 awards along the years from various scientific organizations. It was the first romanian live CD ever developped (2003) and, by having a special version distributed along of a linux begginer book published in a large number (2006), was a good linux advocate among the students and young people at that time.
As you may see, Roslims is discontinued now, because we have very little time to continue the development and we think also that other linux distribution can now do better (e.g. Edu Ubuntu or romanian distribution Kiwi Linux). But I hope that I convince You and the readers of this post that ROSLIMS was not yet another linux distro, “which mostly nothing more than a customization of the interface and software packages for another parent distro” as you said

Marius – (former) main developper of ROSLIMS

well , i don't believe in distro variations as mostly they have little users , to use , support and developers to keep maintained . As for linux i see many distro show up then became lost later , some how i believe in creating applications and software for linux under GPL more than releasing a new distro which will stop later .
For Medical Linux Distro , i personally like it , as an effort for medical students , but i also believe it should continue to be real medical distro with medical and scientific packages and tools .
Its not about making a distro , its about providing some users with the distro with the packages they need along with maintenance and support !
