Hi: I use SL because it is currently the only Distro allowed on one of our networks. I prefer ubuntu because of the package management system, and because of the large number opackages available. I use SL (both 6 and 7) for DFT calculations. Art Edwards -- Arthur H. Edwards

We have used it since SL 4.1 As a small engineering manufacturing company we rely on its stability. As an old Unix guy it was easy. We have added a lot of packages to it for various Engineering projects and with Maria DB is runs our manufacturing operation. We have a few thousand scripts to do odd

Hi, Speaking as an individual, I have two primary motivations for using SL. The first is that I feel that if I were to report a bug or contribute a fix or answer a question on this mailing list, I would be contributing in some small way to the HEP/SL community. The second is that I feel that

Hello, I chose to install SL because it was forked from Red Hat and thus compatible with the Intel Quartus FPGA IDE. I also liked that it came from a purely scientific community.Regards, Tom Eastlake Cleveland, OH, USA -From:

Hello, The variation in uses of t Scientific Linux is quite interesting. As mentioned before, we are using it for fluid dynamics modelling and oceanography, in the context of parallel computing with OpenMP and MPICH. I am curious to see what everyone else have been using it for. Perhaps, if
