[EMBOSS] Linux for bioinformatics: Name change. BioShell now is DNALinux

[Sebastian Bassi]

About a month ago I posted an announce regarding Bioshell. A Linux 
distro based on a LiveCD (Slax). Thank to people at IGH and Quilmes 
National University, I put it online.
Here is the official announce:


(Quilmes, Argentina). GenesDigitales is releasing the first public 
version of a linux distribution oriented toward life science users: 
DNALinux 0.13.
     It is based on a reduced version of Slackware Linux (Slax) with 
bioinformatic software and genome data included. One key feature of 
DNALinux is that works as a LiveCD, that is, without making any 
permanent change on the hard disk. The distro could be tested or used 
without any risk of data loss. It also could be installed as a regular 
Linux if you want (check the FAQ at www.dnalinux.com for details).
     Here is the list of bioinformatics programs:

EMBOSS-2.8.0

     This is a fist release, so there is a lot of things to improve. We 
are working in the next major release, set for April/May 2004. If you 
want to check this version, please take a look at www.dnalinux.com, 
where you could download DNALinux (free registration requiered).
