You did write in your previous email (and removed it from here).... "SL is very stable...." So, you are bringing in the concept of "stability" while saying what I've said is some how untrue. I don't get it. > have you install SL? Yes... > > i have and there where no default *scientific* programs installed. I didn't say "scientific program". I said: applications for the "scientific" community. http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/features/added gives a list of what is added. The one "error" I made was thinking these were installed by "default" when they are only included. Somehow I think you have it in your mind that I am recommending staying away from SL. I feel you are attempting to generate controversy or something for some reason that I can't figure out. IMO, many people see the words "Fermi Labs" and "CERN" and somehow impart a mystical power to this spin/distro. Even if you read the SL website they say.... (With * highlights) -------- Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters. The base SL distribution is *basically* Enterprise Linux, recompiled from source. Our main goal for the base distribution is to have *everything compatible with Enterprise*, with only a few *minor additions or changes*. Examples of items that were added are Alpine, and OpenAFS. Because the main goal of Scientific Linux is to have everything compatible with Enterprise, we have kept our modifications to a minimum. But we have made changes. *The majority of the changes are not seen, or merely cosmetic.* -------- SL is a fine distribution. I've never said otherwise. I don't see any point in continuing. I feel you are being argumentative for the sake of arguing. -- Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? -- Clarence Darrow -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
