Review on Scientific Linux by Shedrick Roach

What I like about Scientific Linux is that it's easy to use and configure for my applications.The ability to do everything from just the command line is perfect when you're using things such as Matlab or Python. It also allows me to access Linux software without needing to have a full Ubuntu environment set up. The only thing I've found to be confusing is figuring out how to install new packages and dependencies into Scientific Linux compared to apt-get in Ubuntu. I'm having a hard time finding a way to do this and am hoping the community can help me figure out how to make this process easier. SciLinux has allowed me to use Linux tools without needing a more complex desktop environment. This cuts down significantly on the resources of my servers, and makes them much less resource intensive.
