If you do, you aren't describing it correctly.
(3) If ScientificLinux runs a web-page that fails in Firefox,
I put the fault down to ScientificLinux.
It didn't fail in firefox; you told firefox you didn't trust them and
firefox responded according to your wishes. No error was involved -
unless you did want to see the page.
(4) As I have said (several times) I do not have a passionate
interest
in ScientificLinux, which according to all the comments I have read here
is more or less identical to CentOS.
Actually I don't think I've seen a good description of the differences.
Both should have a fairly accurate rebuild of RHEL sources and timely
updates from their repositories, but each has their own optional
added-value content. Centos has the Centosplus repository with a kernel
containing some drivers and filesystems present in fedora but removed
from RHEL and some other things. I'm not sure what SL adds.
