[Bio-Linux] Debian source packages?

[Jeremy Martinson]

I too am running several Bio-Linux packages under Ubuntu Dapper. I had to
install xlibs, but apart from that they install perfectly and run very well
- I even get automatic updates of the packages I have installed.

I would also be interested in a 64-bit version of Bio-Linux. At the moment I
have installed regular i386 Ubuntu on my AMD64 PC because it is sometimes
too challenging to fool some of the programs that require the i386
environment into running on a 64-bit OS.
