Personally, we use Mandriva. It generally just works. It was derived
from a RedHat ancestor, so it is ought to be familiar to RedHat folk.
They have a new release every year typically. The updates are fairly

I am not familiar with their scientific packages. I know there are some
in the repositories, especially the contrib repository. Anything in
particular you are looking for.
