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 (and likely last) release candidate for Scientific Linux 5.6: "Scientific
Linux 5.6 RC2 is now available. We have pushed out the latest update to
Scientific Linux 5.6. There are both network install images as well as
CD and DVD images. If there are no problems, this will be the final
release, there will be no further changes. Changed since RC1: GDM Login
screen background was changed to have the 'Atom Shine' blue background.
After four years the 'EaseOfBlue' GDM theme is now blue; release notes
and READMEs were updated; on the distribution servers everything is
copied over to the 56 directory, there should be no links pointing to
5rolling. If there are no problems we expect to release Scientific Linux
5.6 on Tuesday 21 June 2011." The release announcement. Download: SL.56.061711.DVD.i386.disc1.iso (4,167MB, MD5), SL.56.061711.DVD.x86_64.disc1.iso (4,172MB, MD5).
