Scientific Linux是重新编译的Red Hat Enterprise
Linux，由费米国家加速器实验室和欧洲核研究组织（CERN）共同开发。尽管它旨在与Red Hat Enterprise
Linux完全兼容，它也提供了上游产品中未收入的额外软件包，这当中最值得一提的是各种文件系统，包括Cluster Suite和Global
File
System（GFS）、FUSE、OpenAFS、Squashfs、Unionfs，以及对Intel无线固件的无线网络支持、MadWiFi和
NDISwrapper、Sun Java及Java Development
Kit（JDK）、轻量级的IceWM窗口管理器、面向统计计算的R语言环境，以及Alpine邮件客户端。
Troy Dawson has announced the availability of the second beta release of Scientific Linux 5.6, a Red Hat-based distribution built from source packages from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6: "Scientific
Linux 5.6 beta 2 is now available. Changed since beta 1: updated kernel
during the install; there were a few packages that needed to be rebuilt
due to library dependencies, we have added all the security and fastbug
updates up until May 10, 2011. Known bug: for i386 DVD, x86_64 DVD, and
x86_64 network install, after the packages are all installed, you will
get the following error: 'An error occurred while installing
packages...' It is safe to hit 'OK', and the install will finish
successfully. If you look in the install log you will find that the JDK
post-install script did not run successfully." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: SL.56.051311.DVD.i386.disc1.iso (4,169MB, MD5), SL.56.051311.DVD.x86_64.disc1.iso (4,176MB, MD5).
