Hi, Florent.

Yes, in principle, I could install everything in Bio-Linux but this is 
most often not what is required and, in my case, I want to add some of 
the Bio-Linux packages to an existing server installation of Ubuntu 
10.04, or to compare which packages are already installed on several 
different servers including Bio-Linux packages and other packages not 
related to Bio-Linux.

Just out of interest I ran your command and you can see that things do 
not always turn out to be quite as simple as they first appear :-)
