That's it Scientific Linux is a recompiled distribution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, jointly developed by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the European Organization for Nuclear Research or as it is known to us, European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
Scientific Linux is relatively unknown, but it is one of the best clones of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Its name, though it shows that it is only for scientists, is unfair. Naturally, distribution is not only scientists, it took it because its development and maintenance are done by scientific organizations.
Although the distribution aims to be fully compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it also provides additional packages not found in RHEL. The most notable of these are various systems files, such as Cluster Suite and Global File System (GFS), FUSE, OpenAFS, Squashfs and Unionfs. Supports wireless networking with Intel wireless firmware, MadWiFi and NDISwrapper. It comes with Sun Java and the Java Development Kit (JDK), along with the lightweight IceWM window manager. It features R – a language for statistical computing, as well as Alpine email client.
The release of the update says:
"THE disc installationς των 4,7 GB του Scientific Linux 7.3 δεν κυκλοφορεί πια. Έχουμε διατηρήσει τον dual-layer δίσκο εγκατάστασης Έχουμε, διατηρήσει το ‘Everything’ image, το οποίο υπερβαίνει το μέγεθος του dual-layer, αλλά περιέχει όλα τα πακέτα. Το OpenAFS έχει ενημερωθεί στην έκδοση 1.6.20. Υπάρχει μια νέα Άδεια χρήσης του Scientific Linux (Scientific Linux End User License Agreement ή EULA). Το νέο EULA περιλαμβάνει επιπλέον information about her contract governmentunder which Fermilab develops Scientific Linux. The Scientific Linux context plugin has been modified to be less aggressive in using network resources.”
