New born BioPuppy Linux for Bioinformatics

[asprakash]

Hello all,
I gladly inform you that, our first beta version of BioPuppy Linux is out now. My motivation in this project is, want to get some contributions from bioinfo people.
I came to know that, almost they are [ I m talking about in India, No idea about in other countries ] using FOSS softwares. But they are using these tools in Windows platform. Coz they are fear about Linux, especially about commands. I am working in Embedded system field. I used this Puppy Linux for one of my embedded linux project. Its an great user friendly Linux compare with others. My idea is, want to provide an dedicated, user friendly Linux OS for them. So that atleast they will try to use the linux first. Later may be they will contribute for FOSS. BioPuppy is a community project for educational and learning purpose for bioinfo people.

Glad to see Puppy Linux is growing - right now I'm posting from a laptop running Puppy
It would be great if someone would make a Puppy distro targeted to electronics, including out of the box gcc, programming software for microcontrollers (IDE & compilers), schematic & layout soft (Kicad, gEDA), Spice simulator and other freeware for electronics (something like Fedora El. Lab).
Puppy is very efficient and runs fast even on low spec PCs.

Hello Eugen_E. I prepared this derivative just for Bioinfo people, even i am working in Embedded system field. But I am also thinking about like you to prepare an dedicated Puppy for Embedded system which contains all the necessary tools for developing application in emb sys.
If you wish we can start this project, "EmbPuppy" or Let me know anybody interested in this project..
