Bio-linux takes all eternity to build because it installs many bioinformatics packages and dependencies. Switch should provide other lighter Dockerfiles for quick testing, like Ubuntu and CentOS.

You can switch baseimage. 'baseimage' is not shown in the output of switch -l, but is there for testing and other images to inherit from (at least till we have considered another approach). 'baseimage' is essentially ubuntu 14.04.1 - https://github.com/yeban/switch/tree/master/Dockerfiles/baseimage

With #12 done, you can theoretically use any image now - have tested with a few. There will be caveats with some - will improve there with time.
