Description
Scientific Linux, a project backed by Fermilab, primarily serves the High Energy and High Intensity Physics community, although its user base extends across various industries globally, and occasionally into space. This operating system is essentially a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is owned by Red Hat Inc (NYSE:RHT), and is often referred to as “The Upstream Vendor” or “TUV” within our communications. By using the term TUV, we emphasize that Scientific Linux operates independently and is neither formally associated with nor endorsed by the upstream entity, thereby clarifying this important distinction. Designed to provide a stable, scalable, and extensible platform, Scientific Linux supports scientific research by offering methodologies that facilitate the integration of scientific applications with their operating environment. The initiative encourages the free exchange of ideas, designs, and implementations, all aimed at establishing a robust computing platform for future advancements in technology. Ultimately, this collaborative effort strives to foster innovation in scientific computing, paving the way for breakthroughs that can benefit a diverse range of fields.
Description
OpenIndiana is an operating system developed for the illumos community, originating from the UNIX family of operating systems, which can sometimes present a level of complexity. However, with a bit of guidance and knowledge of the fundamentals, you will discover that it offers some of the most user-friendly tools available. Like many UNIX-based systems, it can be entirely managed through a Command Line Interface (CLI) shell, while also providing support for a graphical user interface (GUI) system. The CLI offers various shells, with the primary ones being ksh93 and Bash, and it also accommodates the original SunOS SVR4 commands, the command syntax familiar to BSD users, along with a significant portion of the GNU userland commands that Linux users often utilize. This flexibility allows users to choose from a variety of commands within their shell configuration, enabling a personalized environment that suits their preferences. Ultimately, OpenIndiana stands out for its adaptability, making it accessible to a wide range of users, from novices to seasoned professionals.
