[Bio-Linux] Introductory Bio-Linux course

[Andor J Kiss]

Hi Tim,

    This is REALLY useful guide to BioLinux, and I really like how it
has the introduction to Linux at the beginning - always a big barrier to
first time users that have been "trained" with only GUIs.  Thanks for
making this available for download.

    Just a thought: Maybe you could make the USBs/Images and "ask" for
donations - as opposed to "selling" them?

Regards,
--
