Hi, Stefan.<br>
<br>
Tracey forwarded your email to me and I've replied to the Bio-Linux
list in case anyone else has the sanme question.<br>
<br>
Yes, we are planning a release of Bio-Linux 9 but it will be based
on Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS not 16.04.<br>
<br>
The new version of Bio-Linux will include many packages from the
Debian-Med team and will also have "Bioconda" pre-installed.<br>
<br>
You can upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 in Bio-Linux 8, but many
package dependencies will be broken and I don't recommend doing the
upgrade unless you are willing to fix these dependency problems
yourself. I've upgraded a few instances of Bio-Linux 8 based on
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubunti 16.04 LTS and the upgrade is a lot
smoother now than it was. Please post your experiences here if you
decide to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Tony.<br>
