To visit the Marshfield Clinic, a longtime innovator in health information technology, is to glimpse medicine’s digital future. Across the national spectrum of health care politics there is broad agreement that moving patient records into the computer age, the way Marshfield and some other health systems have already done, is essential to improving care and curbing costs.

Why is Linux still so difficult to install ?
I spent a good deal of Christmas Day (full disclosure: while kinda multitasking..) trying to install a Linux distribution to test out. The goal is to turn of my machines into a media center.
I started with Wubi, a Windows installer for Ubuntu, on an Averatec 3200 laptop. After 4 reboots and retries, I gave up on Wubi and, thanks to the good folks at Lifehacker, tried the Debian installer at...
