Scientific Linux 	4.0 alpha for x86_64		March 15, 2005

This is the first release of Scientific Linux 4.x for x86_64.  It is a alpha 
release.
DO NOT use it for production use.

It may be possible to upgrade to this release from Scientific Linux 3.0.4 
x86_64 if the anaconda installer is used.  Yum is known to NOT work.

There are no "site" support yet.

This release is made so that you can become familiar with SL 4.x .
See SL.documentation for the vendor release notes.

I have included the vendor release notes as a attachment.
