[Bio-Linux] Lack of UCSC tools in Bio-Linux 8

[Tim Booth]

Hi Ian,

We did make a Deb package, but we can't redistribute it as part of
Bio-Linux:

http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bio-linux/ucsc-tools-non-free_3.1-2_amd64.deb

But in fact this is rather out of date, and installing the version from
UCSC is just a matter of following their own instructions.  As I recall
it's very simple.  So that would be the recommendation for installing
the tools.

Cheers,

TIM
