Hello, I am a mathematics/computer science college student. I am looking forward to becoming a SL user, but the last time that I installed it it came with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux License Agreement. I remember the agreement asked me to create an account in Red Hat. I read in the SL website that SL is not supported by Red Hat, so I was not sure whether I should create the account or not. The first time I installed SL I just closed the Aggrement and SL worked just fine, but I uninstalled it becuase I did not wanted to be liable for not accepting the license agreement. Is there any cost in the license to use SL?If so, how much is it? Is it open for anyone to download and use or is it exclusive for scientists?
I am starting to do research on numerical analysis and creating programs to implement them. It is my hope to add those programs or libraries to SL.
