[ UPFRONT ]

A few weeks ago, I was flying west

past Chicago, watching the ground

slide by below, when I spotted the

signature figure eight of the Fermi

National Accelerator Laboratory, bet-

ter known as Fermilab. I shot some

pictures, which I put up at the Linux

Journal Flickr site (www.flickr.com/

groups/linuxjournal/pool,

which runs on Linux too).

I figured Fermilab naturally

would use Linux, and found

that Fermilab has its own

distro: Fermi Linux. Its public

site provides a nice window

into a highly professional

and focused usage of Linux.

Within Fermi Linux, specific

generations are known as

Scientific Linux Fermi, each

with version numbers and the

code names Charm, Strange,

Top, Bottom, Up, Feynmann,

Wilson and Lederman.

Some also have LTS in their names.

LTS stands for Long Term Support. It

has a FAQ. The first Q is, “What is Fermi

Linux LTS?” The A goes:

Fermi Linux LTS (Long Term

Support) is, in essence, Red Hat

Enterprise, recompiled.

What we have done is taken

the source code from Red Hat

Enterprise (in srpm form) and

recompiled it. The resulting

binaries (now in rpm form) are

then ours to do with as we

desire, as long as we follow the

license from that original source

code, which we are doing.

We are choosing to bundle all

these binaries into a Linux distri-

bution that is as close to Red

Hat Enterprise as we can get it.

The goal is to ensure that if a

program runs and is certified on

Red Hat Enterprise, then it will

run on the corresponding Fermi

Linux LTS release.

A follow-up Q goes, “I really don’t
