What part isn't true? Nowhere in what I've written did I

with Fedora. Nowhere did I make any claims of stable v.s. unstable.
So, I'm puzzled as to why you would do so.

have you install SL?
i have and there where no default *scientific* programs installed.
unless you consider "Dia", a graphics diagram editor as 'scientific'.
in kde's menu selection, there is a heading of 'Science & Math', which
is empty.
menu does have 'KCalc', scientific calculator, under 'Utilities/Desktop'.
granted, i may have moved them to where they are not, too long to recall
for sure, but is do not consider them "scientific".
i also have a menu headings of "Electronics/Analog/Mixed Signal Design"
with "XCircuit Schematic" which runs 'xcircuit', but iirc, i installed
it.
i guess i could pull out my backed yum logs and check for sure, but that
is a little more trouble than worth.
SL is RHEL recompiled from source with the RH copyrighted materials
removed....
most all of them.
just like CentOS. Right?
this i can only presume because centos site claims to do so.
i did install centos a few years ago and did not like it from start, so
i removed it.

The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
