Hi :) Weirder, imo, is that while Redhat and CentOS have 4.0.4 but Scientific has 3.4.5!
Redhat and CentOS pride themselves on being as stable as possible and have a reputation for sticking with earlier versions of things until they have been thoroughly experimented with in Fedora. I thought Scientific tends to stay a bit further ahead and adds a bit extra too. All 3 try to stay as close to the others as possible. I'm not sure if they can be run as LiveCds but it's interesting to see how perception/reputation can often be fairly different from reality.
