What is the purpose? I mean, you can install SL (or CentOS or RHEL or Fedora...) and than install the astronomical applications you need. One of the original purposes of this SIG was to create a live CD spin. The use case is you go observing with your telescope, you boot your laptop with the live cd and you have there the utilities needed to plan you observation and control your telescope. Which is the use case of 'Scientific Linux Astronomy' ? If your problem is the the lack of proper astronomical applications for Enterprise Linux 4, you can maintain EL-4 branches of some packages. I do it myself for EL-5.
