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。
Urs Beyerle has announced the release of Scientific Linux 6.0 "Live" edition, a set of live media built from the Red Hat-based Scientific Linux 6.0: "Scientific
Linux 6.0 live CD/DVDs are officially released. They are available for
the 32-bit and 64-bit platforms and come with following window managers:
LiveMiniCD - IceWM; LiveCD - GNOME and IceWM; LiveDVD - GNOME, KDE and
IceWM. Software was added from RPMforge, EPEL and ELRepo to include
additional file system support (NTFS, ReiserFS), more secure network
connection (OpenVPN, VPNC, PPTP), and several rescue and file system
tools (TestDisk, dd_rescue, ddrescue, GParted). For SL6 the way how the
live CD was built has completely changed; it is now based on Fedora
LiveCD Tools. If you install the live CD to hard drive, the installation
of the live image is now done by Anaconda, similar to the normal SL6
installation." Read the release announcement and visit the project's home page to learn more. Quick links to download the live CD images: SL-60-i386-2011-03-07-LiveCD.iso (687MB, SHA256), SL-60-x86_64-2011-03-07-LiveCD.iso (693MB, SHA256).
