BioArchLinux: bioinformatics community with Arch Linux

You've reached the website for BioArchLinux, a community for, Arch Linux, the lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.

Our strong community is diverse and helpful, and we pride ourselves on the uses for BioArchLinux that stem from it. Please check out our git repository to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about BioArchLinux.
