Hello,

Finally, I managed to convince our management to get a Linux based test 
system to test our products(Pacemakers, De-Fibrillators.....) . Now I 
have to decide on RedHat, SuSE or any other and get it approved by FDA. 
I know, it's going to be a long time(6 months to an year). Documentation 
itself is going to take atleast 3 months.  But, I guess it is better 
late than never.

Now to the question -- Have any of you implemented the systems like 
this(testing medical electronic equipments or electronic equipments in 
general). We will be using LabVIEW(from National Instruments) to develop 
the applications. I need your anecdotal experiences and others, if you 
have come across similar situations.

And what do you think as the good company to go with. I have good 
exposure to RedHat, decent exposure to SuSE  and played around with others.

Any pointers welcome.

Thanks,
Sundar
