I am a long-term Linux user and have been into full-time scientific research for the past 3 years now. Everytime I have to do a fresh-install of Linux (not so frequently, ofcourse), I have to download a bunch of tools which I use regularly. For example, gnuplot, xfig, LaTex compilers, numpy, etc.  
* Download [http://spins.fedoraproject.org/scientific-kde/ here] (Fedora 19 ISO is not available; see [http://echorand.me/2013/07/04/creating-a-fedora-19-scientific-iso/ here] and [http://echorand.me/2013/07/04/upgrading-fedora-18-scientific-to-fedora-19-scientific/ here] for two options)

How cool would it be to have a Linux distro which already had these installed? Say hello to Fedora-Scientific
