bioknoppix - (Feb/01/2007 )
Our system administrator just gave me a hint that there is a linux distribution called bioknoppix. It is based on the knoppix distribution of linux and includes several programs as bioconductor, EMBOSS, ClustalX, ImageJ, Bioperl, Artemis and several others. I don't know if its really a good choice, because I didi not try out, but the normal knoppix is ok and is working fine.
If you want to migrate to Linux this may be your choice. There is also a live CD for download as try out.
Have a look at http://bioknoppix.hpcf.upr.edu/

Hey Hob,
I have used freeBSD, openSuse, Suse (9 10 10.1), ubuntu, Gentoo, knoppix and bioknoppix. Of all these, if you are considering a migration, I suggest Suse or the ubuntu systems. Creating you own bio-ubuntu or suse is easy - all you have to do is select the right repos and select the packages that you need (bioconductor) and hit install.
The advantage of these systems over knoppix is that they are far more advanced and look a damn sight better. My current fav is Suse 10.1 but I spoke to a mate earlier today and he thinks that 10.2 is really something special.
