Bio-Linux 9
Hi,
Over the next six weeks I'll be working with Tony Travis to build an
alpha release of Bio Linux 9, which will see a switch from using the
NERC repositories to Debian sid, as imported into Ubuntu. We hope that
this release will have most of the functionality seen in our Bio-Linux
8.0.8 point release. We are working towards a new version of Bio-Linux
based on Ubuntu 18.04, with features such as USB persistence using the
new Ubuntu hybrid ISO's. The new release will be in the form of a
'bio-linux-desktop' meta-package based on the existing med-bio
meta-package. We hope that we can increase interest in both Debian-Med
and Bio-Linux within the scientific community by creating a meta-package
that when installed, would be small enough to fit on a live, persistent
USB stick or DVD.
We're grateful to the Debian-Med community for being so welcoming to our
efforts to transition away from the NERC repositories, and I look
forward to returning to work on Bio-Linux.
Thanks,
Will
