Hello everyone.

Over time, I've somehow come to administer all the machines we run at 
our lab, and I've recently been contemplating moving the heterogeneous 
set (a mix of RedHat 9s, old Fedora Cores and even some Windows, all on 
IA32s) over to something newer and more uniform. I've strongly been 
considering Scientific Linux, and plan to give it a try soon, but I 
thought it'd be wiser to first enquire about the only show stopping 
issue I might run into.

A bulk of what goes on here is number-crunching, and all the code is 
finally built using Intel Compilers (C/C++ and Fortran) before runs. My 
question thus would be, do the Intel Compilers work (seamlessly) on 
Scientific Linux? (I'm guessing SL 3.x should be fine as Intel's own 
page[1] lists RHEL 3 as a supported platform. I was more curious about 
SL 4 actually.) Any related experiences anyone is willing to share will 
be helpful.

Thanks,
Harish
