And it's the most frequently ask question about SL -> https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/faq/general1 Q. Where are all the 'science' programs? Q. Is Scientific Linux better for scientific applications? A. This linux distribution is called Scientific Linux because it is made by scientific labs, for scientific labs and universities. It is not named Scientific Linux because it has the largest collection of scientific programs. It was named back when it was small, and only the scientific labs were using it. Cheers, Urs
