Hi,

I just saw scientificlinux on the net and wonder where the
advantages compared to other distributions (e.g. centOS)
are. I suppose that I can use the same packages!?
Is it more suitable for scientific work like the name
implies?

And a small OT question. If there are certain packages
missing, is it possible to build them using an existing
rpmsrc-Package from fedora and install it? I am actually
using archlinux right now and like the ability to build own
packages.

Best Greetings!
Fabian
