[Bio-Linux] Ubuntu question

[Peter Dawyndt]

Dear Dawn,

Many of our co-workers are working on either Debian or Ubuntu, where 
Ubuntu seems like the most popular of the two on desktop systems. The 
minor difference between the two seems to be that Ubuntu has more 
frequent software releases than Debian, but with it comes that it's also 
slightly less stable (won't be much of a problem). I have been using 
Bio-Linux mainly for teaching purposes and would be happy to test out 
the new version.

Best regards,

Peter
