Preface

I have decided to initiate a general blog on my progress with installing Linux programs for bioinformatics. I have decided to do this for a many reasons, of which I will only make a small list. First, I can not find many guides concerning this matter; therefore, I have decided to contribute to this area that seems to require more discussion. Second (which is not mutually exclusive from the first reason listed above), there are a number of resources available for bioinformatics, but little novice discussion on using or installing the software. Third, I have the intention of to updating this blog because the development of new tools happens so quickly that a published manuscript becomes quickly outdated by time of publication.
