Scientific Linux停止开发了，嗅到了阴谋的味道

万里云

昨天看到了社长吐槽CentOS 8的帖子，突然想起来Redhat系还有一个Scientific Linux。想着CERN和Fermilab这样的名门正派应该比纯社区靠谱点，以前还用过一段时间，除了软件源比较少外没什么明显缺点。结果去主页一看，发现了这个声明：https://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-ANNOUNCE;11d6001.1904

Scientific Linux is driven by Fermilab's scientific mission and focused
on the changing needs of experimental facilities.

Fermilab is looking ahead to DUNE[1] and other future international
collaborations. One part of this is unifying our computing platform with
collaborating labs and institutions.

Toward that end, we will deploy CentOS 8 in our scientific computing
environments rather than develop Scientific Linux 8. We will
collaborate with CERN and other labs to help make CentOS an even better
platform for high-energy physics computing.

Fermilab will continue to support Scientific Linux 6 and 7 through the
remainder of their respective lifecycles. Thank you to all who have
contributed to Scientific Linux and who continue to do so.

简言之就是不会再有Scientific Linux 8了。联想到CentOS已被招安，红帽本身也被收购，突然嗅到了一股阴谋的味道。

看来要考虑换Debian或者openSuSE了，不过这两个发行版支持周期短，是个令人头疼的问题。

linuxmint大法好

啥阴谋，没人用就慢慢停止更新了

十年前学校服务器装的就是Scientific Linux，印象不好。感觉这东西更新慢，各种库的版本太老（有些晚了五年，个别十年以上），导致很多强烈依赖库版本的软件装不了

Manjaro第一

opensuse不错的，对生手来说比红帽系简单。我这四台小机组，一直用openSUSE，还运行kde的，也快4年了
