Scientific Linux is a recompiled Red Hat Enterprise Linux put together by various labs and universities around the world.

The Scientific Linux live CD/DVD is a bootable CD/DVD that runs Linux directly from CD/DVD without installing. It is based on Scientific Linux 4.5 (SL45), which is recompiled from RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 sources (RHEL4 AS Update 5).

Additional feature: live CD/DVD can be installed on local hard disk or USB key and can be mounted over NFS. Latest changes: diskless client - better detection of the network card; GParted added to live CD/DVD.
