Scientific Linux is a recompiled distribution 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 file systems, 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 news version as it turns out, only Red Hat started developing, announced general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.5.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.5 is the latest update of the distribution Linux for businesses. Of course, every release of RHEL is considered a big event, due to the slow growth cycle adopted by the company.
