SL is maintained for Scientists mostly in Fermi Labs and CERN, and it has additional Scientific applications/packages. They are also government funded project, and as such must follow some strict rules. Those are main reasons. There are smaller ones, but even those are enough not to think in the direction of joining projects. <snip> > I run CentOS on 3 home servers, and Fedora on my laptops.) I have setup repository for desktop use of CentOS where I have put many packages (~300 compiled and 45 downloaded from non-repo locations) and in process of solving repo conflicts so major third-part repositories can be the basis for nicely formulated Desktop distro. When I finally have enough time I will finish it and offer entire package to public. I hope it will be soon. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
