Dear Dawn,
Many of our co-workers are working on either Debian or Ubuntu, where
Ubuntu seems like the most popular of the two on desktop systems. The
minor difference between the two seems to be that Ubuntu has more
frequent software releases than Debian, but with it comes that it's also
slightly less stable (won't be much of a problem). I have been using
Bio-Linux mainly for teaching purposes and would be happy to test out
the new version.
Best regards,
Peter
