Subject: [Bio-Linux] New mirror of Bio-Linux packages and ISO
Message-ID: <1310398146.15653.13.camel@barsukas>

Dear All,

As Bio-Linux continues to "grow up" as a distribution and reach users
around the world, some people have complained of slow or unreliable
connections to our download server in Wallingford.  This has been a
problem for some time and impacted both ISO distribution and package
updates.

We are pleased to announce that the ibiblio mirror service at the
University of North Carolina has now set up a mirror of these files and
will keep these updated on a daily basis.  We therefore suggest that all
users in North America consider switching to this server for package
updates.  This essentially involves editing the
file /etc/apt/sources.list and changing the server path
"nebc.nerc.ac.uk/bio-linux" to "distro.ibiblio.org/bio-linux/packages".

More detailed instructions regarding this are here:

http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/tools/bio-linux/other-bl-docs/package-repository

One downside is that we now have no accurate way to measure the number
of people using Bio-Linux, so please do be vocal on this mailing list or
else get in touch with us directly if you have experiences or comments
on Bio-Linux that you want to share.

Cheers,

TIM

The Centre for Genomic Research is a leading laboratory for the application
of genomic technologies and bioinformatic analyses.? Supported by the
University, MRC and NERC, it is applying cutting-edge technologies to
environmental, biomedical and comparative genomic research.? Providing
guidance and oversight to a team of bioinformaticians, you will have the
primary responsibility of developing and implementing next-generation
sequencing analyses. In addition, you will also be responsible for providing
direction to the development of the CGR and ensure that the CGR remains at
the forefront of developments in computational biology. The post is
