It's been several months since RGB and others discussed Fermi Linux (https://fermilinux.fnal.gov/), and there was some discussion on this list of Scientific Linux (https://www.scientificlinux.org/) a few months ago. I just revisited these distro's sites after reading the August issue of "Linux Journal" - which discussed both in its "Upfront" section. It appears that Fermi Linux basically supports their own users - while Scientific Linux has broader more general support. Both are based on Red Hat Enterprise sources. A major premise for using either distro is their claim for long term support (LTS). I'm curious to know how many folks on this list use either distro and what has been your experience (and usefulness) of LTS? I'd also like to hear from folks who tried either and moved elsewhere for their distro (and why). Regards, Lyle -- Lyle Bickley Bickley Consulting West Inc.
