Beyond Scientific Linux

[SlowJet]

I installed CentOS-6.3 in virtualbox and after a bit of panic when firstboot blew off (I hit the unfull screen keys as the screen saver was coming on and the cron job started on the host.) But the next boot went fine, got updates, configured, ran stuff, slow but solid.

So I went to check out scientific linux status and found the enterance to the scientific Linux clones for each group of old farts still iving in the 00's.
Very interesing reading.
Topic theme seemed to be don't mess with my server software.

I felt like Huble discovering the far away galaxies (or an underworld like that movie where the groundhog day Bill Murey is the 5th generation mayor that is crazy and hords food. The whole city has decaded, and the young ones are now assign jobs by whimsy or lottey. The city was built to hold the important people during a war or disaster. Turns out the Earth had recovered and a boy and two girls climbed out. The major was eaten by a gaint cockroach.

Anyway, my Linux world got bigger, but faith in mankind dropped another 100 points.
I hope I out live them all and running Fedora on a $200 super computer.
I'll show them a hyde-bison and shove it up their black hole.

P. S. I think Black holes release the dark stuff. It collects out in the universe into frozen energery and bends light. We could be looking at oursevles someday.

I am not sure what this post is about. Are you saying you do not like Scientific Linux?

Hmmm.

Uhm ... You might want to back down the dosage on the psychoactives just a wee bit there, SlowJet. Or quit eating pizza before going to bed. <....>

It was an ... interesting read, though. <....>

I resemble some of those remarks
Funny, sad, and true observations.
Think it is funny now, just wait till version 7 comes out!

I think it's a diatribe about Centos being on version 6.3 while Scientific Linux is still back at 6.2

I think the dark stuff has warped your sense of reality, both centos and sl are RHEL clones.

[RupertPupkin]

I did the math and it didn't add up.

[angryfirelord]

I did the science and it caused one of parallel universes to collapse on itself.

[aleph]

SlowJet, so you work in science, as a test subject for some new dark, dyslexia- and hallucination-inducing, sleep-depriving drug? I'm glad you're doing it with Linux!

I kid, I kid...

I don't know how different RHEL 7 is going to be compared to RHEL 6 when it came out. Its compartively going to be older than fedora anyhow.

RHEL7 will be based on F18 FYI

i kinda thought it might have been. prolly with the 3.2 kernel since its a LTS?

[kpedersen]

Now I wonder... Will RHEL7 come with Gnome 3 or Gnome 2?

[hadrons123]

Gnome3. But I expect alternatives like cinnamon and mate to be in the official repos.

[Demz3]

last i heard Gnome2 was still gonna be the default but with Gnome3 also as a Preview? i dont think Redhat would be stupid enough to risk putting a whole New Gnome release in as default before a Preview release to there Customers
