NeuroDebian “Derivatives”

Hybrid Live Media | Live CD/USB Media | Virtual Appliances | Cloud Solutions

NeuroDebian is not a Linux distribution in a traditional sense because we are working within Debian project thus not providing our custom installer etc. But we are a Linux-distribution providing a repository of up-to-date builds and maintaining a NeuroDebian Virtual Machine deployment of Debian. Because of the openness and modularity of Debian other enthusiasts develop customized derivative solutions to address their particular needs.

This page presents some of such derivative projects which are tuned for particular domains of application in neuroscience and rely on NeuroDebian as the origin of necessary tools.

Note

These projects are not maintained by NeuroDebian team. Please direct all you support inquiries to respective authors/maintainers.
