## What is Scientific Linux CERN 6 (SLC6)

Scientific Linux CERN 6 is a Linux distribution build within the framework of Scientific Linux which in turn is rebuilt from the freely available Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Server) product sources under terms and conditions of the Red Hat EULA. Scientific Linux CERN is built to integrate into the CERN computing environment but it is not a site-specific product: all CERN site customizations are optional and can be deactivated for external users.

## Current release: SLC 6.8

Scientific Linux CERN 6.9 is the current minor release of SLC6
