[an error occurred while processing this directive] Initially I was a bit puzzled to setup a section like this one, because there are already several nice web pages about this topic specifically for Linux (as seen in Other Resources below). But how can SAL live without some of these wonderful software? So I decided to put a fraction of the chemical/biological software here to give you an idea about how popular the Linux is used in this area. Search SAL:
