Hi, Sara.<br>
<br>
Ah! clicky-buttons - You either love 'em or you hate 'em :-)<br>

Actually, I've been trying out the Microsoft/Ubuntu "bash" shell, which<br>
might be a another way of running command-line 'Linux' programs if you<br>
really prefer to work in a Windows environement:<br>

Thanks, but I can't claim all of the credit for Bio-Linux :-)<br>
<br>
Tim Booth was the lead developer of Bio-Linux until, he left the project<br>
for a new job, but I have been involved in the Bio-Linux project helping<br>
Tim for many years. I'm now seeking funding to develop Bio-Linux 9 and<br>
Dawn Field, who lead the original NERC/EOS Bio-Linux project from the<br>
outset is also looking for ways to develop Bio-Linux further. We plan to<br>
coordinate our efforts with Steve Moss at "<a href="http://bioinformatics.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">bioinformatics.org</a>", where<br>
this Bio-Linux list is being served from:<br>

Glad you find Bio-Linux useful!<br>
