One Tale of Two Scientific Distros
,----[ Quote ]
| Several weeks ago, I was flying west past Chicago, watching the ground slide
| by below, when I spotted the signature figure eight of the Fermi National
| Accelerator Laboratory, better known as Fermilab. I shot some pictures, which
| I put up at the Linux Journal Flickr pool (Flickr also uses Linux).
|
| I figured Fermilab naturally would use Linux, and found that Fermilab has its
| own distro: Fermi Linux. Its public site provides a nice window into a highly
| professional and focused usage of Linux. Within Fermi Linux, specific
| generations are known as Scientific Linux Fermi, each with version numbers
| and the code names Charm, Strange, Top, Bottom, Up, Feynmann, Wilson and
| Lederman.

RHEL clones. They build their own.
Businesses don't need to buy Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| What driving this, Lyman points out, is not just the free Linux price-tag,
| but the simple fact that it's much easier for companies to find IT staff who
| already know Linux. Experienced Linux managers may not be as common as
| Windows system operators but they're not rare either.

| Compared with the previous version, Scientific Linux 5.2 Live CD/DVD works in
| persistent mode, which means that it will store/restore your settings if you
| run it from an USB flash drive. Also, this new feature will allow you to
| carry the USB stick with you, and boot from it whenever you need a stable and
| reliable operating system.

Fermi Scientific Linux. What is it?
,----[ Quote ]
| So the geegazoids at Fermi Lab and other places apparently got together to
| generate a version of Linux that is as close to Red Hat as you can get and
| still be Open Source legal. It is Red Hat. Yet it is not.

Move Your Business from Windows to Linux

| If the cost of Windows is getting your small business down, consider shifting

| Though you can purchase boxed commercial versions of Linux that include

| which distribution you'd like to use (see below), you can simply download,
| burn, and install it on as many systems as you choose.
