You are :-) There are working Ubuntu packages available. The problem is that 
users are not willing or able to find them. There is info in the Wiki. There 
is info right within GNUmed. There is info all over the net.

Some folks have not been introduced to the concept that updates are available 
outside of what a distro might ship.

There no use in putting any more energy into that. Users who really want to 
try GNUmed are going to find a way to ask someone (e.g. us) or find the update 
repository.

Karmic will ship GNUmed 0.4.6 or 0.4.7 (depends on the debian package at that 
time ) and will replace version 0.3.9 in Jaunty.

It the same on Windows. People will update to Windows 7 over Windows XP first 
chance. 

Take care,
Sebastian
