Fermi Linux – a Linux distribution based on Scientific Linux (previously on Red Hat) that provides recompiled source code from Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Fermi Linux is developed by Scientific Linux and features Linux kernel hardening patches and a modified system configuration from Fermilab. This allows system administrators to install Fermi Linux with Fermilab setup and security out of the box.
From Wikipedia:
“Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) – National Laboratory for Accelerating Elementary Particles Enrico Fermi – located in the USA in Batavia, 20 km west of Chicago, a research center for particle physics and high energy physics.”
Fermi Linux started out as an extension of the PC Farms Pilot Project spearheaded by Connie Sieh.
