On Feb. 3rd, the Canadian Bioinformatics Resource was officially opened.

CBR-RBC offers access to the major bioinformatics software and databases for
academic use
in Canada. The annual user fee is 195 Cdn$. Services include:

Secure shell (ssh) and ftp access to

- GCG

Chris,

Shall I infer from the presence of X11-based tools such as
GDE that registered subscribers can run a remote X11 session
on the CBR servers? That seems to be implied, but
the documentation on the web site had nothing on
whether this was possible, or if so, how to connect.
Only Web-based programs appeared to be documented.
