Sorry, but the Tevatron and the LHC are not linear colliders. SLAC, the Stanford Linear ACcelerator, is the only Linac currently in operation. The others are synchotrons.
There are a few minor modifications to RHEL that SL implements. Mostly support for the internal file sharing networks of CERN and Fermilab, IIRC. Really, they use RHEL as a base because they have to keep builds of software frameworks (CERNlib, Geant, etc.) consistent across the networks. SL exists because it's too expensive to maintain RHEL on all the machines.

Linac at Fermilab? CERN?
