We're a university HPC centre.
We've been using SL since at least SL4 (before that was before my time),
and currently mostly on SL7 with a few SL6 still dotted around on older
clusters.
Certainly in the past there was a requirement to have a RHEL-like OS for
certain core software packages.
Didn't plan on chiming in but Larry's post tugged.
I started with Slackware in '93, kernel 1.3, looking for an cheap X11
workstation alternative to the then $15k a pop SunOS workstations, of which we
could only afford 2. I proposed to my division director to let me buy 12
Pentium 90's at $2k

Not quite a short blurb, but not too long either.

Yes and it's why www.phy.bnl.gov is running on a system that still

SL (and soon changing to Centos) provides a monoculture in HEP computing
so there is no choice for me but to consider it.

Scientific Linux, and How/Why?
In the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, at

At my previous job, we used it for microprocessor development, along with
commercial tools and the Torque/Moab batch queuing system. The software tools
team used it as well.
I used it on al our home computers for several years but eventually switched to

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
