[Bio-Linux] NEBC Bio-Linux 5.0 released

[Stewart Houten]

Dear all,

The NEBC is pleased to announce the release of Bio-Linux 5.0.  This
new version is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution and
provides a very user-friendly desktop while continuing to deliver
access to a growing suite of bioinformatics applications.

Bio-Linux 5.0 is available on USB memory stick or as an image to
download and burn onto a DVD and is easy to install on a wide range of
computer hardware. You can also run Bio-Linux 5 as a Live system from
either the memory stick or DVD version. This is a simple way to try
out Bio-Linux.  It can also provide a practical way to deliver
teaching courses, give demonstrations or to work while away from the
office.

All PIs and CO-Is on NERC PGP grants will receive a Bio-Linux USB
stick in the post shortly.  We welcome you to try it out and would
love to hear your comments and feedback on the new release.
