What are these 'things' that are not provided via the CentOS Distribution base ?
Referencing SL3 and CentOS 3 (as I haven't run SL4 as yet) there were some scientific applications and some Java stuff, eclipse for one, part of cluster suite for another, included. Lessee, https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/30x/features/ is the reference. GFS, Eclipse, Cluster Suite, OpenAFS, ksh93, a set of 'tweak' RPMs (my favorite being the serial console tweak RPM).
For SL4, the doc is at https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/4x/features/ and includes fewer addons. OpenAFS is the biggest of these, I guess. The same 'tweak' RPMs are there again (including my favorite, again, the serial console one. I duplicate its name and description here: SL_enable_serialconsole: This script makes all the changes necessary to send console output to both the serial port and the screen. This also creates a login prompt on the serial port and allows users to login at this prompt. Once the cluster suite and eclipse are available they probably will be rolled in.
The Fermi version of SL 3 had included a packaged JRE and was very attractive for that, but later releases have not had that and rather have pointers to download from sun.
Pine also is in the SL dists.
