Scientific Linux, a recompiled Red Hat Enterprise Linux put together by various labs and universities around the world, is now at version 5.10.

Scientific Linux 5.10 has finally arrived after a long hiatus, and it's more of a general update with no new features or important changes.

“Scientific Linux 5.10 provides updated versions, specifically versions 5.1 and 5.5, of the MySQL packages as software collections. In order to migrate from MySQL 5.0 to 5.5, you must first update to MySQL 5.1.”

“Note that the MySQL 5.1 packages are not supported and are provided only for the purposes of migration to MySQL 5.5. You should not use MySQL 5.1 on any of your production systems,” the developer notes.

A complete list of changes and improvements can be found in the official announcement. Download Scientific Linux 5.10 right now from Softpedia.
