We've taken a careful (lawyerly) look at the most recent Scientific Linux 6.7 End-User License Agreement (EULA) and can find no reason not to move forward with PIAF and Incredible PBX ISOs based upon supersets of the SL 6.7 platform, a platform that was partially funded by the U.S. Government.
These ISOs will be in addition to the stand-alone installers which will continue to work with base installs of CentOS, Scientific Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, and Raspbian.
As our first cut at this, please try out the new IncrediblePBX13.iso (torrent also available) on either a stand-alone machine or VirtualBox and give us your feedback. Our tests using VirtualBox running on an iMac show install times of under 20 minutes (5 minutes for SL 6.7 and 15 minutes for the whole enchilada). Add 5 minutes for Incredible Fax install which remains optional. Google Voice OAUTH 2 upgrade also is optional (begin with step #1b in linked tutorial).
