Hi,

In our faculty (Kapteyn astronomical institute)  we are using Scientific 
Linux 6 on our servers and client machines. Recently, we've considered 
to migrate to Scientific Linux 7 but are not sure if this is the right 
move to make.  CentOS7 is also a potential consideration but we cannot 
confirm if this is the right way either.

Is Fermilab and CERN still involved in the development and maintenance 
of Scientific Linux and for how long?  Should we still choose to use SL6 
and migrate to SL7 or would we better be off using CentOS?  What 
potential problems could we be facing migrating to SL7?  Can one of you 
shed some light on this?

Thanks  in advance!
