The custom Puppy derivative BioPuppy has been chosen by the Debian-Med Project as the operating system to contain the BioInformatics packages that are one aspect of Debian-Med's current focus. Debian-Med is a custom Debian distribution that is creating "a free software-based platform for all aspects of medical research and practice."

BioPuppy OS was created by Puppy Linux community member Prakash as "an electronic workbench for bio-informatics and computational biology...containing all the required software to boot the computer with ready to use bio-informatics tools." BioPuppy is based on Puppy-3.01-seamonkey Linux.

The quality of Prakash's contribution to this project should be pretty obvious, but he also says, "The whole credit goes to Puppy Linux. Special thanks to Mr.Barry Kauler who encouraged me in this project and ... all the community members."
