    URL: Quantian: A scientific computing environment with many bioinformatic apps
    Submitted by Dirk Eddelbuettel; posted on Wednesday, December 08, 2004
    Quantian is a remastering of Knoppix, the self-configuring and directly bootable CD/DVD that turns any pc or laptop (provided it can boot from CD/DVD) into a full-featured Linux workstation. Recent versions of Quantian are based on clusterKnoppix and add support for openMosix, including remote booting of light clients in an openMosix terminal server context. Earlier releases are still available.

    I announced release 0.6.9.2 of Quantian last week. Quantian may be of interest to members/readers of Bioinformatics.Org as it contains a complete installation of BioConductor as well as BioPerl, EMBOSS, FastDNAML, FastLink, Garlic, NCBI, Loki, ReadSeq, Vibrant, and hundreds of other scientific applications and visualization tools. There's support for several programming languages, several editors and complete LaTeX support. There's also office tools, including spreadsheets, typesetting and more in a bootable DVD that can also enable immediate cluster computing via openMosix. See below for additional info and links.

    Links to the full announcement are e.g.
