Revision 2.1.12002-12-22Revised by: gea
Update to re-include vet applications, but again, will mostly serve as pointer to better information.
Revision 2.12002-8-24Revised by: gea
There are too many projects. There are much better sites for information. This document will change its focus and be more of a stable document and pointing to active sites with better and more up-to-date information. This document is not intended to be complete, and parts of it will seem out of place in its new function.
Revision 2.0.52002-07-26Revised by: gea
Added in OpenEMR. I also need to add back in the german sections, but will need help on it.

Revision 2.0.12002-02-19Revised by: gea
Minor changes, Changed license to GPL. Some more reorganization. Which to say I have deleted out a ton of comments that I put that were useless. More pimping of Debian-med.
Revision 2.02002-02-05Revised by: gea
Major changes. Conversion from linux-doc to Doc-Book format. Have basically edited out nutrition sections and most of the German section for now until I can get help again the German section. Have switched focus of the article to Medical informatics and applications, less to research applications which should probably be a different article. Will most likely put these things I will not maintain at the end, so someone else has some where to begin. Whew. Tired from Doc-Book Conversion.
Revision 1.4.32002-02-5Revised by: gea
Doing minor checks of links. no big change yet
Revision 1.4.22002-02-05Revised by: gea
