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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD INFO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/i386 http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/x86_64 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - All updated packages were successfully recompiled. - kernel updated to kernel 2.6.9-100.EL - openafs has been updated to openafs 1.4.14 - The yum configurations have been changed to point to 40rolling ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alpha 2 or Beta 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We currently do not have a date for the next Alpha or Beta release.
