[bioknoppix-discuss] kudos to bioknoppix

[L ben]

Hi everybody :-)
I'm downloading and looking forward to try bioknoppix
and yet I have some questions.
Does bioknoppix rely on openmosix
http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/ ? I ' m an openmosix
fan , especially for live distros , because it lets
you building a live cluster with cds wich fits in your
pocket :-)
Does bioknoppix comes with some data , too , i.e. to
make students work on sample datasets (It would
require more space but it might be worth the effort)
I am trying http://www.bioteam.net/ibt/index.html
wich is a bioinformatics benchmark sistem .
It tests ncbi-blast , gromacs , hmmr and blat on 
sample datasets...at least for gromacs and ncbi-blast
there should be  already .deb packages so it will be
effortlessy to include them and make a .deb for perl
modules of ibt wich manages those tests.  I' m not a
big .deb fan  ...infact  I was doing something similar
with .rpm and a live distro called Adios.
If bioknoppix is is a live cluster friendly distro
also mpi-blast may be interesting :
http://mpiblast.lanl.gov/
sorry for my impatience ... I have a slow network and
I couldn' t wait to find some of the answer directly
from your wonderful distro ( wich I am pushing on all
mailing list I am member of ... hope soon to see
openmosix on it so I can do it with openmosix-general
and devel as well ;-)
best wishes
ben
