I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.

  1. Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
  2. Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?

    There’s a reason that stuff is ideally on its own separate vlan to isolate it as much as possible from the network too

      Hahah yeah. 100% air gapped. About as secure as a paper door. Sometimes I feel like they just put it out in the field after they get their first successful test done and then forget about it forever.
