When I was at Princeton, a lot of clusters ran Springdale Linux[1], which is a Princeton/IAS version of RHEL compiled from RHEL source. I wonder why they didn't simply choose CentOS, and if there's any institution outside Princeton using Springdale.
Btw: it doesn't seem to have been ported to RHEL 8 (?).

- llarsson 6y agoThey address that particular question even before the FAQ on their site: "This project was started long before CentOS or other projects were available." I bet the have calculated that their work maintaining this is rather simple and well-worth it, or they would have changed over to CentOS a long time ago.
