SLC6: Scientific Linux CERN 6¶
What will be Scientific Linux CERN 6 (SLC6) ?
Scientific Linux CERN 6 will be a Linux distribution build within the framework of Scientific Linux which in turn is rebuilt from the freely available Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Server) product sources under terms and conditions of the Red Hat EULA. Scientific Linux CERN is built to integrate into the CERN computing environment but it is not a site-specific product: all CERN site customizations are optional and can be deactivated for external users.
Scientific Linux CERN 6.0 (SLC6.0) TEST1
A TEST version of future SLC6 is available since 29.11.2010 for installs via the PXE network boot at CERN from the 'Expert Operating System Install Menu' / 'SLC 6 PREVIEW/TEST Install Menu'
Please note that this is a pre-release version NOT suitable for production purposes and possibly affected by numerous problems.
Since the SLC6 version is not supported yet please note that we (linux.support@cern.ch) do not guarantee timely updates (including security ones) nor CERN helpdesk offers support for it. If you would like to participate in discussions about future SLC6 please join linux-certification@cern.ch mailing list.
