Yes, there are several links, all mentioned in the following page: https://www.scientificlinux.org/community/repo Included are the following SL4 repositories: ftp://ftp.linux-ink.ru/pub/SL/4.x/ ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dag/redhat/el4/en/ http://dl.atrpms.net/sl4-i386/atrpms/ http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/ Let me quote the advertisement in the SL webpage: SL is a Linux release put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters. SL tweaked some of the RHEL rpms: https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/4x/features/tweaks SL also added some packages that are not in RHEL: https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/4x/features/added Among the packages that SL added which are useful for me are: apt (package installer/updater), gv (postscript viewer) ipw2200 firmware (for my laptop's Intel ProWireless) j2sdk(java from SUN, for my programming classes) expanded mp3 support Enjoy!
