Hello to everybody
Hi List! I installed SL 6.0 on a testing system to practise for my RHCE exam. As SL6 is in alpha stage i thought it can't be wrong to join the community so i can share knowledge / get help and information about bugs/errors/etc. So Hi everybody! :) BR, Heiner

As SL6 is in alpha stage i thought it can't be wrong to join the community so i can share knowledge / get help and information about bugs/errors/etc. So Hi everybody! :) off-topic for SL but on-topic for this post, i'm a regular pre-pub reviewer for pearson publishing and i *just* finished reviewing an upcoming book that helps people study for the official RHCSA/RHCE certification exams. [DISCLAIMER: i have *no* financial interest in this book, other than having been paid a flat fee for the reviewing. i make nothing from any eventual sales.] the book is lab-based and *very* carefully identifies and covers the topics specifically required for both the RHCSA and RHCE exams, and also distinguishes between how things work in 5.5 and 6. and, obviously, it's applicable for RHEL, centos and SL. i can post a 1-page (marketing) overview when i get it. again, i have no monetary interest in the book, i just thought people who want to study for official RH certification might be interested in it. (and just as an aid to working with SL, it would probably be handy as well.) beyond the above, i won't mention any more unless someone explicitly asks. rday -- Robert P. J.

But there is no harm in trying -- just to see what happens. :-) With alpha and beta releases, anything other than a fresh installation may give odd results. If those odd results are then reported back, they could possibly send Connie and Troy off at a tangent, trying to fix something that should not even be considered . . . Putting it another way, I would not consider it appropriate to yum update from an alpha to a beta release, nor (ultimately) from a beta to general access release. Alan.
