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
