Review on Scientific Linux by Sean Flint

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Distribution for Web Development

It's an Open Source distribution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The package management is really good. I can very easily install software from community repositories. I use it to develop my applications in PHP/MySQL environment. It has tools like GIT that are very useful too. This is great distro to develop your application in linux. Nothing much to dislike about this distro. I would recommend anyone who wants to develop their applications in linux should definitely try out this distro. I am developing web application using PHP/MySQL. We also have a team of developers developing our website in LAMP stack.
