Scientific Linux 6.4 發布

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。

Pat Riehecky has announced the release of Scientific Linux 6.4, a distribution built from source package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 and enhanced with software suitable for use in scientific and academic environments: " Scientific Linux 6.4 is officially released. The OpenAFS kernel module package has changed - with SL 6.0 we started packaging the OpenAFS client's kernel module according to the guidelines from TUV's Driver Update Program. Due to unanticipated changes with the 6.3 kernel, we've had to revisit the process. With the 6.4 release, we modified the packaging to provide a dedicated build of the module for each minor SL release, instead of one kernel module (kmod) for all SL6 kernels. Since the EL kernel ABI is supposed to be kept stable within a minor release, this should avoid the problems some SL users experienced."
