Re: RHEL 6.5 released

Kevin,

I get my Scientific Linux releases and updates directly from the Fermi
Lab repo. I've attached a script that I update from time to time to weed
out older versions. Like my Fedora scripts, this one has two environment
variables you'll want to edit before running. If you also have Steve's
linkdups Perl script, you'll want to uncomment that line.
