Curiosity got the better of me so I downloaded the 64-bit iso and burnt a DVD. I'll bring along my laptop and the DVD to tonight's wlug meeting if anyone would like to play with Fedora 20-1 Scientific KDE live. I'll also bring the .iso file ...if you have 3.5GB's of space on a USB stick. cheers, Ian.

It's very nice I'm currently running this spin at work.

"Fedora Scientific is a Linux distribution specifically designed for enabling open science. It is a Fedora spin targeted at users whose work involves scientific and numerical computing. Perhaps like other Fedora spins, it was conceived out of a simple need: the need to avoid constantly installing the same software on a fresh Linux installation."
From a researcher's point of view, it's a good range of pre-installed tools (see packages list below).
