SL lost its way in recent years. Right now, it seems little more than a (basic, out-of-date) redhat clone. It could be much better - I don't understand why it doesn't include GEANT4, ROOT and the associated CERNlibs, matplotlib, Octave and R out of the box. If I have a distribution called 'Scientific Linux' sponsored by CERN and Fermilab, I expect that it least has particle physics tools as part of the default ditro. :-(
