Bio-Linux
provides both standard and cutting edge bioinformatics
tools on a Linux base. It is powerful, configurable and easy
to maintain. Bio-Linux has been customised for ease of use
and provides an ideal system for scientists handling and analysing
biological data.
Bio-Linux
also comes with many development tools, providing a solid
base for bioinformatics software development. It can also
be easily deployed as a computer cluster.

As of version
4.0, Bio-Linux is based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Bioinformatics-related
customisations include the inclusion of a large number of
bioinformatics
programs and programming libraries, the addition of graphical
menus for much of the bioinformatics software, and links from
the desktop to key documentation and applications. The system
also includes a comprehensive, categorised and searchable documentation
system for bioinformatics software.
There are
many other customisations, including the addition of the Condor package, the inclusion of a powerful
and configurable firewall and the presence of web-based system
administration software. For full details, please see the
Bio-Linux
development log.

A large amount
of documentation
is available for Bio-Linux, including course
materials. Support for NERC funded researchers is available
via our helpdesk as well as a variety of other mechanisms.
For others, we provide a mailing list
where Bio-Linux related issues can be discussed with other
Bio-Linux system administrators.
As of November 2005, a DVD version of
Bio-Linux is also available called Bio-Linux
Live.
Bio-Linux Live is a great
solution for working at home or anywhere you don't have access
to bioinformatics applications like those on a Bio-Linux machine.
It emulates the look and feel of working on a full Bio-Linux
system without requiring installation.
