Hi, Saeed.

Tracey forwarded you email to me:

You can download previous versions of Bio-Linux from:

  http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/

The closest version to the one you want is:

  http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bio-linux-7.0.9.iso

HTH,

  Tony.

Hi, Chen.

Tracey forwarded your question to me. I've CC'ed it to the Bio-Linux
mailing list, in case anyone else has the same problem.

The password for the "manager" account on the VM is "manager":

As a rule of thumb, if you have more than 1 processor core you will have 64-bit support.  You may need to modify BIOS settings.  See: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests

This might not be a problem because by default nobody can access the Linux VM unless they have direct access to your computer, but if you open up the network settings (eg. by adding port forwarding rules) then you must secure the account with a strong password or else take other steps to limit remote access. Ideally enforce key-only access via SSH.

Note: Please change the password if your VM is connected to a network.

Let me know how you get on using the Bio-Linux VM,

  Tony.
