I too am running several Bio-Linux packages under Ubuntu Dapper. I had to install xlibs, but apart from that they install perfectly and run very well - I even get automatic updates of the packages I have installed. <br><br>
I would also be interested in a 64-bit version of Bio-Linux. At the moment I have installed regular i386 Ubuntu on my AMD64 PC because it is sometimes too challenging to fool some of the programs that require the i386 environment into running on a 64-bit OS.
