thanks a lot for the links! I’ll consider using the libsbml2/3 libraries from E-cell’s Lenny repository.

However, it’s even more exciting for me to learn that Debian has a bio-medical software task force! The least I can do right now is to write a post about the Debian Med project, what I’m already doing…

Frankly speaking, I was somewhat surprised at the ICSB-2008 to see that some software tutorials explicitly stated that Windows will be the “tutorial OS” (for the sake of completeness, it must be mentioned that presented software did have Linux version). Also, given some problems I’m trying to overcome with other pieces of systems biology tools, it appears that Linux isn’t (yet!) that popular among systems biology software developers, even despite the fact that most of the software is written either in Java (which is cross-platform, as well as Eclipse), or in C++ (which, to the best of my knowledge, is also highly portable, given that cross-platform GUI toolkit is used).

To conclude: thanks for your efforts in helping Debian become the truly versatile and popular OS, also for bio/med applications.

Best,

Steffen
