There's a ton in Debian in general:
edd@basebud:~> apt-cache search bio | wc -l
186
edd@basebud:~> apt-cache search genetic | wc -l
32

More generally, one place that has a few overview review article is the
Genome Canada / Canadian BioInformatics Help Desk Newsletter hosted at your
very own U of Alberta.  Bela Tiware has on overview of live distros here:
 http://gchelpdesk.ualberta.ca/news/03mar05/cbhd_news_03mar05.php#GearingUp
and Bela and I have an article about my Quantian distro here:
 http://gchelpdesk.ualberta.ca/news/30jun05/cbhd_news_30jun05.php#Quantian

The next Quantian release will have once again a large selection of tools
incl a complete set of BioConductor packages (that part is not in Debian) but
dozens of packages from Debian from the BioPython, BioPerl, Bio"Anything"
area such as bioperl python-biopython blast2 clustalw clustalx seaview hmmer
and more.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
