There's an article on The Register about whether SCO is impacting on the take-up of linux at
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/21/big_linux_debate/
The last paragraph in the article is:
'Tony Kenny is IT manager at Beaumont Hospital Dublin, where
he has overseen a major shift, with major savings, to open
source software. He said it had a big impact on his IT
department when they realised applications they had
developed would be taken up by other hospitals. He
said: "Giving out applications meant my IT department
realised other people would see their mistakes - that
changed things."'
Anyone know anything about the use of open-source software
in Irish hospitals?
