'''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:
Line 47:
[[Gentoo Linux]] provides over 156 bioinformatics applications (see [http://gpo.zugaina.org/sci-biology Gentoo sci-biology herd in the main tree]) in the form of [[ebuild]]s, which build the applications from source code. Additional 315 packages are in [https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git Gentoo science overlay] (for testing).
Although a very flexible system with excellent community support, the requirement to install from source means that Gentoo systems are often slow to install, and require considerable maintenance. It is possible to reduce some of the compilation time by using a central server to generate binary packages. On the other hand, you can fine tune all to run at the highest speed utilizing the best of your processor (for example to actually use SSE and AVX and AVX2 CPU instructions). Binary-based distro's usually provide binaries using only i686 or even just i386 instruction sets.
