'''BioLinux''' is a term used in a variety of projects involved in making access to [[bioinformatics]] [[software]] on a [[Linux]] platform easier using one or more of the following methods:

* Provision of complete systems

* Provision of bioinformatics software repositories

* Addition of bioinformatics packages to standard distributions

* Live [[DVD]]/[[CD]]s with bioinformatics software added

* Community building and support systems

There are now various projects with similar aims, on both Linux systems and other Unices, and a selection of these are given below. There is also an overview in the Canadian Bioinformatics Helpdesk Newsletter<ref>[http://gchelpdesk.ualberta.ca/news/03mar05/cbhd_news_03mar05.php#GearingUp overview in the Canadian Bioinformatics Helpdesk Newsletter] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/2005121ñ020051215114230/http://gchelpdesk.ualberta.ca/news/03mar05/cbhd_news_03mar05.php#GearingUp |date=December 15, 2005 }}</ref> that details some of the Linux-based projects.
