Scientific Linux

I decided to move off of Fedora Linux to Scientific Linux at home for a few reasons.

– I just can’t keep up with the 6 month development life cycle. Every 6 months a new version comes out

– Scientific Linux is very close to the commercial version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux

– Scientific Linux is maintained by CERN and Fermilab, check out the history: https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/history.long

To make the transition easier, I wrote up a guide/script to install all the cool things I like on a Linux Distribution after it’s installed: http://biff.freeshell.org/personal_scientific_linux_install.html
