What’s New?
Bio-Linux 8 incorporates the incremental improvements and packages added during the life of Bio-Linux 7, as well as new features brought by updating the base system from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 and adding support for virtualised environments.
Here are some highlights:
New Ubuntu 14.04 base system supports the latest hardware and provides up-to-date office software, multimedia, etc. Updated versions of key bioinformatics applications like QIIME, Mothur, Jalview, Artemis, BLAST, Bowtie-Bio tools and many more (users who do not upgrade will no longer get updates). Up-to-date versions of many R packages, including ggplot2, DESeq and edgeR plus updated Bioconductor and thousands more packages available for direct installation via C2D4U. Provision of pre-prepared templates for use on VMWare/VirtualBox. Replacement of NX with x2go, a more flexible version of the fast and secure remote-desktop system. Inclusion of the MATE desktop as a lightweight alternative to Unity. A more robust packaging of Galaxy, with support for loading tool-shed tools, Apache proxy, automated PostgreSQL set-up, authentication to local accounts and SFTP file uploads. A free kitten with every download! … ok, I may have lied about the kitten but we do have some gorgeous new wallpapers submitted by the user community – see below.
