but Cluster Knoppix is so much more tempting for the wavering masses not sure if they're ready to commit the resources. Part of being open is being accessible after all. I know it's an unreasonable whine, but what the heck, the forum was empty and I thought I'd start the party. I suppose I should just get the iso and look at it, but can you tell me if the biobrew packages per se are kept in a form separate from the rock distros. Thanks Ahfoo

You can tell I don't check this forum. I'm on the biobrew-discuss mailing list. But to answer your question, while based on Rocks, BioBrew is its own distro and is downloaded separately.

We have Rocks on all of our cluster (well almost all) and I was wondering if the Biobrew will work as an add-on roll to the Rocks 3.3.0 distribution, or do I have to use the BioBrew distribution only?

The BioBrew roll will work as an add-on to Rocks 3.3. Please post questions to the BioBrew mailing list because I don't monitor this forum. Glen
