Hi Brian,

I thought you might be interested in including the Bio-Linux project in
your list of projects that use (in our case rely!) on SystemImager.

The Bio-Linux website is http://envgen.nox.ac.uk/biolinux.html

Bio-Linux is an integrated, bioinformatics-centred, computer system. By
providing both standard favourite and cutting edge bioinformatics tools
on a Linux-based system, it combines the benefits of being powerful,
configurable, and easily updatable, with the ease of use and potential
for software integration required for the handling and analysis of
biological data.

We use SystemImager to install and update Bio-Linux worldwide, although
our main focus is groups in the UK that are part of a NERC funded
program (NERC is the Natural Environment Research Council) for the study
of Environmental Genomics.

I notice looking through the site that SystemImager is mentioned, but
not given prominent coverage.  Given how much we use the product
(daily!) to install Bio-Linux and also manage our clusters - I will
remedy this soon!

We have nothing but praise for the product and its developers here.

regards,

Dan
