- cozzyd 6y agoThere is a long legacy of EL integration and know-how in various particle physics experiments (and research computing clusters, for that matter...). If RH doesn't release some "Academic Version" (but who would even trust that at this point?), then I suspect revival of Scientific Linux or adoption of shudders Oracle Linux is more likely than a switch to Debian. FreeBSD is probably a non-starter.
