Hi, Steffen.

The sequences I'm analysing right now for the IAEA are unpublished data 
and are _very_ large, which is part of the problem for VIP. However, the 
VIP-0.2.0 docker image contains test data that can be extracted from it:

> docker pull yang4li/vip-docker

I used this test data to debug my VIP 0.2.1 Bioconda env

Thanks for supporting discussions about using Debian-med packages. One 
of the most important aspects of Bio-Linux was the effort that we put 
into documenting and supporting the software. I believe that this is 
also important for Debian-Med to be more widely used by biologists.

My revised notion of 'Bio-Linux' is a simple to deploy platform for use 
by biologists based on Ubuntu-MATE with "med-bio" amd "x2go-server" 
pre-installed. I can already create bootable 'live' install DVDs. All I 
need to do now is write the documentation and tutorials :-)

  Tony.
