Scientific Linux 6.5 發布，重新編譯的Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Scientific Linux是重新編譯的Red Hat Enterprise Linux，由費米國家加速器實驗室和歐洲核研究組織（CERN）共同開發。盡管它旨在與Red Hat Enterprise Linux完全兼容，它也提供了上游產品中未收入的額外軟件包，這當中最值得一提的是各種文件系統，包括Cluster Suite和Global File System（GFS）、FUSE、OpenAFS、Squashfs、Unionfs，以及對Intel無線固件的無線網絡支持、MadWiFi和NDISwrapper、Sun Java及Java Development Kit（JDK）、輕量級的IceWM窗口管理器、面向統計計算的R語言環境，以及Alpine郵件客戶端。

Connie Sieh has announced the release of Scientific Linux 6.5, a distribution built from source package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 with extra software designed for use in scientific and academic environments: " Scientific Linux 6.5 is officially released for i686/x86_64. As a reminder, the SL6x repository always points to the most recent release. The SL6x repository has been updated to SL6.5 at this time. Users of the Scientific Linux 6x repository should run 'yum clean expire-cache'. This should allow yum to notice the updated metadata within the 6x repository. Major differences from Scientific Linux 6.4: OpenAFS has been updated to version 1.6.5.1 from openafs.org - this package may have some issues, please note there is a possibility for system panic under certain conditions; alpine 2.10 - updated to more recent version (from Fedora); yum-autoupdate-2 6.3 - bug fixes for extra, useless reporting, remove the obsolete augeas lense."
