Welcome

Hello and welcome to the home page of Bio-Nix, a bold attempt to foster the use of linux among biologists, working in wet-labs and in silico alike. The idea is to provide packages that a biologist would typically expect to use, presented in a way that is comfortable for him/her. The visual feel should give the picture of an OS made for biologists.

YUM REPOSITORY RELEASED


We had created a Yum repository specifically for biotech people. To get it working install http://bioinformatics.org/BIO-NIX/yum/bionix-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

After this you should be able to install gromacs and other supported software by "yum install gromacs" or "yum install <package name>" .

To download Bio-Nix send a request mail to [| Bio-Nix groups]. [| Fedora Core 5 RPMs ] have been released for some packages.
