FreeBSD in Bioinformatics Submitted by J.W. Bizzaro; posted on Monday, March 12, 2001 (2 comments) Johann Visagie writes (on the BiO Bulletin Board), ``Some list members may be interested to know that there is a small but concerted effort underway by FreeBSD users in bioinformatics (and other bioscientific computing fields) to add as many applications as possible to the FreeBSD ports tree. ``The FreeBSD ports tree has gained some fame even outside the FreeBSD (and BSD) communities as one excellent way of integrating third party applications into a Unix-based operating system. It goes somewhat beyond a packaging system (such as RedHat's RPM) and encompasses all levels of a user's normal interaction with a package to get it up and running - from download through patching, compilation and installation. The closest equivalent in the Linux world is (I believe) Debian's apt-get system.'' Mailing list: [link] UPDATE: The full text of the post can be found in the BiO BB archives: [link]
