Hi, Sara.

Ah! clicky-buttons - You either love 'em or you hate 'em :-)

Actually, I've been trying out the Microsoft/Ubuntu "bash" shell, which
might be a another way of running command-line 'Linux' programs if you
really prefer to work in a Windows environement:

Thanks, but I can't claim all of the credit for Bio-Linux :-)

Tim Booth was the lead developer of Bio-Linux until, he left the project
for a new job, but I have been involved in the Bio-Linux project helping
Tim for many years. I'm now seeking funding to develop Bio-Linux 9 and
Dawn Field, who lead the original NERC/EOS Bio-Linux project from the
outset is also looking for ways to develop Bio-Linux further. We plan to
coordinate our efforts with Steve Moss at "bioinformatics.org", where
this Bio-Linux list is being served from:

Glad you find Bio-Linux useful!
