  Reply from Linux usage counter (Linux Counter)

Subject: Reply from Linux usage counter
Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 21:47:44 CST

The subject line of your message was HAY CAMPOS DE GOLF CON ESAS CARACTER.

This did NOT contain the word "Linux".
The counter has unfortunately been the recipient of many sorts
of messages, some of which were not intended as registrations.
Therefore, the subject line MUST include "Linux" to perform a
simple registration.

Please include the word "Linux" in the subject line, perform
a registration using the form below, or register using the
Web forms at http://counter.li.org/ in order to register.
If you have any unusual problems - contact harald@alvestrand.no!
HELP FOR THE LINUX USAGE COUNTER
================================
This message is intended for you to edit, and send right back to the
Linux-counter@uninett.no address.
DO NOT USE "REPLY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Practice has shown that putting the counter in the Reply-To: or From:
fields of a message is a GREAT way of causing mail loops, and defending
against them is a *lot* of effort. Therefore, this counter does not do it)

There are two ways of registering: Simple and complex.
For the SIMPLE method, simply send a message with the subject line being
one of:

   I use Linux at home
   I use Linux at work
   I use Linux at school
   I do not use Linux

You can also do combinations, like "I use Linux at home and at work".
The counter will attempt to guess your country of origin, and count you
accordingly. Information about you will not be made public.

Complex registration
====================
The complex features of the counter are accessed by using commands.
A command looks like (for instance) //MACHINE, and starts in the left
column.

You can register MACHINES, FRIENDS and data about YOURSELF (PERSON).
Below is listed an example of each of the sections, with comments that
aid you in filling them out correctly.
Remember to put the value on the same line as the field name!

Only use the FRIENDS section if it is unlikely that the people will
register themselves!

When the templates are accepted by the daemon, they will be added to the
database. Data will be added even if it is not parsed properly.
They may be thrown out in later duplicate elimination, or you may receive
a query from me regarding the validity of the data, but otherwise, they will
be counted.

You can also register using the WWW forms at
http://domen.uninett.no/~hta/linux/counter.html

You can get a report from the counter by specifying the command

  //REPORT <reportname>

The following reports are available:

  short    - The standard listing of Linux usage, including per-country data
  machines - Statistics on registered Linux machines
  persons  - Persons who use Linux, sorted by country, and some statistics

All these reports are also available by anonymous FTP to aun.uninett.no,
directory pub/misc/linux-counter, or through the World Wide Web at
http://domen.uninett.no/~hta/linux/counter.html

The counter also understands //HELP.
When you use a command, the subject line of the message is *not* recorded
in the counter.

Good luck!

             Harald Tveit Alvestrand
Sorry, the record help is out of order


//END
The END command is only required if you have a mailer that adds stuff
below the last line of the message.



This is the Linux Counter summary as of Wed May  1 18:57:32 2002

There are 125628 persons registerd.
1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 95892 machines registered.

I guesstimate that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have
registered with the Linux Counter.
So the total number of Linux users is probably between
2,512,560 and 62,814,000 people.

WHERE LINUX USERS LIVE
The table is sorted by number of Linux users divided by population

QuadraMed Affinity System and InterSystems’ CACHÉ Speed HIS Rollout Time
                          at Genesis Healthcare

Goes Live 25 Percent Faster than Expected

Scalability, Performance Key to Successful Web Implementation


CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—May 1, 2002—InterSystems Corporation today announced
that Genesis HealthCare System has gone live with Web-based QuadraMed
Affinity® applications built on CACHÉ, the leading database in
healthcare.

Genesis, an integrated network of 2,000 healthcare professionals, serves
more than a quarter million people in southeastern Ohio. Faced with the
need to replace a legacy Health Information System (HIS) that had become
unacceptably slow, Genesis evaluated multiple HIS solutions. Product
functionality, performance, and scalability were key selection criteria
during the six-month search, according to Ed Romito, CIO at Genesis.
"The sophisticated, comprehensive set of applications offered by
QuadraMed Affinity are key to fulfilling current needs as well as
supporting our organizational plans for the future," he says. "This rich
functionality is enabled by the high performance, scalability, and
reliability delivered by the underlying CACHÉ database."

Fast, Smooth Installation Sets New Record

The implementation, which required converting 20 years of data to the
QuadraMed Affinity environment and deploying a series of QuadraMed
Affinity financial applications, was completed in nine months.  "Our
experience with HIS installs is that they typically take 12 to 18
months," says Romito. "Clearly, the CACHÉ technology helped make the
compressed install possible…overall, this is the smoothest install I’ve
ever been through."

Genesis went live with the first QuadraMed Affinity applications
including Patient Registration, Patient Accounting, Clinical Results and
Contract Management in January 2002. "Phase one of the rollout involved
replacing these core applications," Romito explains. "During phase two,
we’ll add QuadraMed Affinity’s Clinician Access application and follow
that with Nursing Documentation, with Web front-ends on the new
applications."

The QuadraMed Affinity applications are running on a 600-PC network
serving information users in two locations. Since going live, the
feedback from the user population has been very positive, according to
Romito. "They’ve gone from a legacy system where day-end processing took
six hours to a QuadraMed Affinity and CACHÉ-based infrastructure, where
that same processing is complete within about an hour," he says. "We
have a system that users love and backend database technology that IT
loves…it doesn’t get much better."  Currently supporting about 300
concurrent users, the combination of QuadraMed Affinity’s open systems
architecture and the highly scalable CACHÉ database provides the
flexibility needed to manage a growing information user base and new IT
initiatives including wireless applications.

"Healthcare is one field in which the term 'mission-critical' is
absolutely accurate," says Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems vice president
of strategic planning. "CACHÉ is optimized to deliver the information
healthcare professionals need as rapidly as possible. Our partnership
with Quadramed at Genesis illustrates the success of this approach now
and for the future."
