I am aware of what Scientific Linux is. I been running an SL shop for the last two and a half years with nodes spanning SL 3 through SL 6 inclusive.
I'm not sure what you mean by mixing EL packages with SL packages--why would you mix RHEL, CentOS, and SL packages on the same system? Or do you mean third party software?
The EPEL repository. There are packages in EPEL that run just fine on RHEL and CentOS but cause conflicts on SL. In my experience, if it wasn't compiled on Scientific Linux then there is a non-zero chance that it won't play nice with Scientific Linux.
