Molbio & Linux

[LAZO,GERARD]

I've started to use Linux and am impressed with its multitasking
capabilities.  The X-windows works really well.  Almost anything
available with C source code may be set-up to run within Linux.
I'd recommend using the Linux version with the most recent C compiler
and associated libraries.  I was using Linux 0.99pl4, but had 
problems upgrading to the more advances patch levels.  I ended up
just re-downloading Linux 0.99pl8 (I haven't checked lately, but
I think Linux is at patch level 10). Currently I'm trying to set up a 
486 system using:

 Genetic Design Environment - can be linked to several molecular
        biology programs
 ACeDB (to run AAtDB) 
 MapMaker
 Phylip
 Primer
