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。
