What a pile of dren. Not a snowballs's chance in hezmana of you appreciating cleverly twisted sci-fi jargon. But on the off chance, you can learn some here: http://www.dmbrigade.com/Statistics.htm
The Medical Manager does all of the things you require if you get the base package plus a few add on modules (eg. "Perscription Writer"). It is commercial ware and not cheap, but the version made for SCO Openserver 5.x *does* run flawlessly on linux.
Why isn't Corel putting Corel LINUX on an FTP site for download? The first version of Corel LINUX is still in the development and testing phase and is not ready for general distribution. Beta testing is part of the development process that Corel is following to ensure that Corel LINUX reaches a suitable level of completeness and stability before it becomes widely available.
Is this testing style in keeping with the spirit of Open Source software distribution? Yes. The recruitment of outside Beta testers is part of the initial development process of Corel LINUX and will allow Corel to release the first version of Corel LINUX to the general public at an earlier date than would be possible if Corel relied only on its internal testing resources. Once Corel LINUX is ready for general distribution, it will be distributed in accordance with the criteria for Open Source software.
When will Corel release the source code for Corel LINUX? The source code for Corel LINUX will be available with the first distribution of Corel LINUX.
Will Corel be releasing the source code for applications it has created such as the Corel File Manager? Corel will be making the source code available for such applications. The exact terms of the license under which the source code will be distributed has not yet been announced.
Looks like they have "closed" the beta so as to limit "bad" copies of Corel Linux in circulation. This may, indeed, violate the GPL, but doesn't look like they are "commercialising"/"closing" their/debian's distro- not they even indicate that the Corel developed software will be OSS (though not necessarily GPL).

I have had excellent performance out of my Cybex SwitchView with a mixed environ of linux, SCO, and Windows.
They are releatively cheap, have keyboard and manual control, work flawlessly, use standard cables, and do not require independent power sources.
It took about 1/2 a minute to find this info in the Corel Linux Beta Test FAQ:
