[Bio-linux-list] uptdating softwares on biolinux

[Flavia Flaviani]

Hi Tony,

thank you so much for the advice. I will give it a try. just a quick final
question, will I have to run both sudo command? We access through Remote
desktop connection or ssh into Biolinux, do you reckon I will have to have
access to the real machine after the update?

Cheers

Flavia
