The first alpha release for Scientific Linux 4.9 has been released.

This release has all the new updated packages from The Upstream Vendors
Update 9, as well as most security and fastbugs up to last friday.

It will install, and it appears to work, but no major testing has been
done.

You can only do a network install.  We do not have CD or DVD images.
