scientific linux 6 comes with installations of texlive from 2007 and it is a 5gb install to update, and it is a pain in the rear end

don't use scientific linux

its what we use in our lab machines at the university so i use it in the house just to be consistent and so i dont need to spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how to do something in some other distro

everything about our computer setup is really bad

being forced to host our git repos on an internal server that can only be accessed on campus

jenkins is also hosted on that same server and has so many problems
