Hi, Stefan. Sorry, I'm away on holiday in the French Pyranees just now, with only intermittent access to my email. I'll be working in Milan afterwards until 2 Oct before I look at the Bio-Linux 9 project seriously again. I attended a Debian-Med Sprint in Barcelona in Feb where I gave a short presentation about my proposal to base Bio-Linux 9 on Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS + Debian-Med with help from the Debian-Med team: > https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2018/DebianMed2018 Will McAffery has been working hard to create a "bio-linux-desktop' meta-package over the summer with help from the Debian-Med team and we've remastered the Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS iso adding packages from Debian-Med's 'med-bio' task using "customizer": > https://github.com/kamilion/customizer At present, we've not yet been able to create a 'live' USB-stick with persistence, but we've tested using the 'live' stick without persistence and used it to install to single and "md" RAID hard disks successfully. I can't give you a precise date for the release, but meanwhile it would be very useful if you and anyone else interested could let us know which packages from Bio-Linux 8 are the most useful/important to you? The Debian-Med team have offered to help package any software that is included in Bio-Linux 8, but not available in Debian "Sid", which is what Ubuntu is based on. I've CC'ed my reply to the Bio-Linux and Debian-Med mailing lists to keep everyone up-to-date with the current state of Bio-Linux 9.
