Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 - Sep 26, 2014 == Information == Fermilab's intention is to continue the development and support of Scientific Linux and refine its focus as an operating system for scientific computing. Today we are announcing a release candidate of Scientific Linux 7. We continue to develop a stable process for generating and distributing Scientific Linux, with the intent that Scientific Linux remains the same high quality operating system the community has come to expect. THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION RELEASE OF SCIENTIFIC LINUX 7.0 NOTE: Please review the SL Release Notes along with The Upstream Vendor's Release Notes: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/ https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/index.html There is a great deal of information within those documents not listed here. Send comments/issues/test reports to: SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS@LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV == Media == You can find the release media at: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/iso/ NOTE: The 'everything' dvd image requires a Dual-Layer (DL) compatible drive for both burning and booting off of. Alternatively the livecd-iso-to-disk utility is able to convert this to USB successfully. A USB device of sufficient size is required. Alternatively you can utilize the dd command to write the raw image to a USB device. http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/#_how_to_make_a_bootable_usb_installer == UEFI Secure Boot == The status of UEFI Secure Boot for Scientific Linux is noted in detail at: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/#_about_uefi_secure_boot Booting SL7 with Secure Boot enabled works but requires a manual step. This is because the "shim" has not been signed by the UEFI CA. Instructions are included within the SL7 Release Notes. NOTE: The kernels in sl7-security have not yet been built with the SL7 Secure Boot Certificate and may not function in secure boot environments.

Re: Posted for testing: Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1
I mean, this is only a release candidate. If I install this RC now, and once the final is released, will I get the final system by keeping the RC version updated? Running a "yum update" on an RC takes me to the final version? Or stays at RC? Can we just switch the repo to 7xrolling and then end up on final?
