Scientific Linux pushes RHEL clones forward

“Scientific Linux 6.1 is now available providing users with a
stable reliable Free (as in Beer) version of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.1.

Red Hat released RHEL 6.1 in May, providing improved driver
support and hardware enablement and oh yeah security fixes too.

Scientific Linux is a joint effort by Fermilab and CERN and is
targeted at the scientific community, but it’s a solid RHEL version
in its own right. It’s also one that could now be attracting some
new users, thanks to delays at the ‘other’ popular RHEL clone —
CentOS.
