I can't name any, but it's certainly an interesting idea... although as long as equipment companies can charge customers an arm and a leg for their kit, there's not going to be a great deal of cost saving by eliminating the price of a copy of Window$... I suspect the interfacing wouldn't be too much of a problem, as I believe the i386 PC platform is pretty standard in medical kit now but I am sure someone could name some kit running on bizarre platforms I know nowt about!

Plus there's the added hassle of teaching Windows-savvy end users the vagaries of a Linux GUI... mind you there was a time when post-DOS software running on Windows utilised a bespoke GUI and people were generally able to get on with it, so maybe it wouldn't be too hard. Not being a regular Linux user I am unaware which GUI's are available now, I am sure someone will have something pretty close to Windows available. That said the GUI with my version of Red Hat (8.2?) is reasonably close in feel n function...
