There is a great deal of information within those documents not listed here.

Have tried gnome and KDE. No issues encountered. This was just a "basic" installation, but so far so good.

To load a resource, such as EPEL:
`yum install yum-conf-repos` followed by `yum install yum-conf-epel`.
 
Just one word of caution about EPEL-7. They have not finished removing conflicts with EL7. So, if you 'yum update', there may be some packages that are overwritten by the EPEL ones. One such example is libsrtp [1].

Good work, SL team!
