Hello,

in my recent ISMB summary post I had suggested to create pointers to companies 
in the life
sciences that officially state their compatibility with Debian and/or Ubuntu or 
their
products. Is anybody opposing that idea?

I am asking since the sole reason for the folks in a Linux BoF of the 
supercomputing
conference I attend (a portal is hoped to emerge at
http://wiki.debian.org/HighPerformanceComputing over time) was the support of 
their
hardware vendors for some particular distribution. So, most sites actually had 
all the
major distributions installed, since the had bought in the past from multiple 
vendors.

Consequently, when we can render it easy for potential buyers that 
Bioinformatics and
Medical-Informatics associated companies do support Debian/Ubuntu, then I this 
would
strengthen our distribution(s) considerably. And it also help the competition 
amongst the
vendors to show their support.

Best,

Steffen
