Scientific Linux – The Big Physics Community Linux of Choice
,----[ Quote ]
| To reduce redundancy and provide commonality, Fermilab and CERN have anointed
| a version of Linux as Scientific Linux.
|
| The FAQ on the site talks about the foundation of Scientific Linux as
| the “Enterprise version” of Linux. I believe it’s based on a version of Red
| Hat Linux but the FAQ declines to mention it citing trademark restrictions.
|
| As always the issue of support comes up since the community provides it
| rather than a particular vendor. Fermi Lab offered a Fermi Linux so the
| support users found with that version will probably be what they find with
| the Scientific Linux version.
