Just a note.
scipy is being included in SL 5.3, and I *believe* it is in the SL
contrib area for SL 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2. So this currently is a supported
option on SL 5.

Howdy!
I've started looking for a data visualization tool.
Prefereably one that lets me select data from a mySQL
or pSQL database and graphically determine how to
display it (it has to be usable by techies, managers,
and admins if possible). Does such a thing exist?
Thanks,
Miles

I think most, if not all, versions of Scientific Linux come with an "R"
install package. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)
for more info. There seem to be many available optional packages for adding
extra functionality, such as
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/index.html
for adding MySQL functions. I haven't used it myself, but have it on my
list of things to do someday. My impression is that you will need
programming skills to make something that is "point and click" for
techies/managers/admins. However, there are several GUI front ends that are
discussed in the Wiki article.
Another one of my to do someday, is
http://root.cern.ch/
if working in C++ is to your liking. I don't know if it's capable of being
used with an external database though.
Meanwhile, I pay for (or my boss pays for) the Linux version of MATLAB for
data tasks.
