Just answering your second question:
The web-based SL forum is not the official SL forum. The forum is from SL users for SL users:
http://www.scientificlinux.org/community/siteshttp://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=23
The office mailing list for beta announcement is scientific-linux-devel. Here is the announcement
