Scientific Linux 6.1 - Notes

# I couldn't find tons of packages, until:
yum install epel-release

# See:

http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/features/differences

• "To reduce duplication, version and dependency problems, and create less confusion, we have reduced the number of extra packages we put in Scientific Linux 6."

# For safeties sake I decided to disable this repo:

sudo yum-config-manager --disable epel

# and only enable it when I can't find something, e.g.

yum --enablerepo epel search sshfs

# and

sudo yum --enablerepo epel install sshfs

# This is cool:

curl whatismyip.org
