Scientific Linux 6.2 BETA 2 i386/x86_64                January 10, 2012

These are notes of the "Alpha/Beta" releases for Scientific Linux 6.2 .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS IS NOT FOR PRODUCTION.
This is for testing.  Please report back any issues.

There should be no expectation that a "yum" upgrade to SL 6.2 will work.
A new install is the recommended method to move from
"sl6rolling"(this alpha release) and the released "SL 6.2".

Items marked with * are changes for BETA 2
