Scientific Linux 5.6 RC 2 is now available.

We have pushed out the latest update to SL 5.6.
There is both network install images as well as CD and DVD images.

The network install images are boot.iso in
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/i386/images/
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/x86_64/images/
The DVD and CD images are at
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/iso/

If there are no problems, this will be the final release.  There will 
not be a RC 2.5 release unless a problem is found.
If there are no problems, this will be the release, there will be no 
further changes.

Changed since RC 1

- GDM Login screen background was changed to have the "Atom Shine" blue 
blackground.    After four years the "EaseOfBlue" gdm theme is now blue.

- Release notes and README's were updated

- On the distribution servers everything is copied over to the 56 
directory.  There should be no links pointing to 5rolling.
