Are there others lurking out there unknown except to to those who know too much for them to be of use ? Us thickies are more helpless than often realised. The obvious one is probably Freshmeat: Thanks Pete. At first glance, the descriptions are too complicated (I don't need to know if it is written in B+ or Anaconda) and give little idea of the use that can be made of the program. Will delve further when less busy. http://freshmeat.net/ Pete -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I don't listen to LUG Radio because I hate swearing (I get to hear enough at work) so a 'Cleancast' certainly has a market. Colin Yes I agree, if we are promoting Linux, it should be done professionally, good sound talk. No need for swearing, and hey we want kids to listen to. Most of us adults dont want to hear it either. There is a UbuntuPodcast that has no swearing http://ubuntuos.com/podcast/. If there is going to be a Ubuntu UK podcast sessions I'd love to be involved. Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Hi everyone, I'm a recent convert to Linux (after accidentally wiping my harddrive and not wanting to put windows back on it - long story!). I'm also a doctor, so I'm really glad to see the e-mail below. I've worked a bit in Zambia and one of the challenges in the rural hospital I worked in was collecting data about patients on Anti-retrovirals to a sufficiently high standard to keep funders happy. Do people know of other low-cost similar open source health-related software?

Hi, and welcome. I had a quick look and came across: http://www.linuxmednews.com/ but you'll have to see how valuable a resource this is. Secondly, you might want to try looking yourself. I have come across specific medical projects, but if you start looking for yourself now, this will stand you in better stead later on. What follows are some general sources. Try: 1) System Administration Synaptic Package Manager Use the search facility and tinker with that a bit. 2) Take a look at some of the following links: http://www.gnomefiles.org/ http://www.kde-apps.org/ http://www.osalt.com/ http://linuxappfinder.com/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Software 3) The final link is something I'm gradually working on whenever I've got some spare time (any assistance would be very welcome). When you find something and it's not included there, add it to this page, or email me the details and screenshot(s) and I'll stick it up. 4) Lurk around the Ubuntu Forums (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/), and search for the discussions with people outlining their favourite software (and for medical discussions, if any). Also take a look at the Ubuntu documentation pages. 5) Don't forget that there may be software available that isn't available in the Ubuntu repositories. Again, you'll have to look into how to install these packages. Good luck, and remember: when you get more knowledgeable, try to contribute something for all this free software you're getting. Your particular field may need strengthening. Don't forget, if the people who make our software hadn't contributed, we wouldn't be using it. All the best.
