Scientific Linux 7.0 Beta 1 发布

Scientific Linux是重新编译的Red Hat Enterprise Linux，由费米国家加速器实验室和欧洲核研究组织（CERN）共同开发。尽管它旨在与Red Hat Enterprise Linux完全兼容，它也提供了上游产品中未收入的额外软件包，这当中最值得一提的是各种文件系统，包括Cluster Suite和Global File System（GFS）、FUSE、OpenAFS、Squashfs、Unionfs，以及对Intel无线固件的无线网络支持、MadWiFi和 NDISwrapper、Sun Java及Java Development Kit（JDK）、轻量级的IceWM窗口管理器、面向统计计算的R语言环境，以及Alpine邮件客户端。

Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 BETA 1 - July 25, 2014    == Information ==    Fermilab's intention is to continue the development and support of   Scientific Linux and refine its focus as an operating system for   scientific computing. Today we are announcing a beta release of   Scientific Linux 7.  We continue to develop a stable process for   generating and distributing Scientific Linux, with the intent that   Scientific Linux remains the same high quality operating system the   community has come to expect.    Please do not install Pre-Release software in your production  environment.    THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY.    Please review the SL release notes at:  http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/x86_64/os/sl-release-notes.html    The Upstream release notes are at:  https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/index.html    You can find the release at:  http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/    NOTE: The 'everything' dvd image requires a Dual-Layer (DL) compatible         drive for both burning and booting off of.  The         livecd-iso-to-disk utility is able to convert this to USB         successfully.           Alternatively you can utilize the dd command to write the         raw image to a USB device.    http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/x86_64/os/sl-release-notes.html#_how_to_make_a_bootable_usb_installer    Send comments/issues/test reports to:    [log in to unmask]      == CHANGES SINCE OUR LAST UPDATE ==    * Updated sl-release  ** Now correctly requires coreutils for the %post script    * yum-cron  ** Installed by default  ** Now behaves in the same manner as yum-autoupdate  ***   http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/x86_64/os/sl-release-notes.html#_sl_provides_automatic_updates    * SL_yum-cron_no_automated_apply_updates  ** Undo this yum-cron customization    * SL_yum-cron_no_default_excludes  ** Undo this yum-cron customization    * yum-conf-extras  ** Provides the SL Extras repo tracking TUV's Extras    * yum-conf-hc  ** Provides the de-branded Upstream hardware test toolkit    * Standard DVD image  ** A standard DVD image is now provided.  It should fit on a normal   sized DVD    == THINGS NOT YET INCLUDED ==    * OpenAFS  ** Stephan Wiesand has offered to build OpenAFS packages for SL7  *** He has a proposal on scientific-linux-devel for a possible packaging   setup.  Interested parties should provide feedback.    * yum-conf-epel  ** EPEL is still in BETA and as such we are waiting until things   solidify more in that area before loading the repository config information.    * Secure Boot  ** Scientific Linux has joined the UEFI forum with the intent of   providing valid secure boot images.  This it not yet implemented.        == REMAINING QUESTIONS ==    * default tuning  ** The current default tuning is the upstream provided 'balanced' from   tuned.  This profile tries to provide even performance for any workload.     Alternatively we could set the profile to one optimized for IO   intensive workloads.  However, it is less power efficient and less   sensitive to latency.    == In Conclusion ==  Please keep the feedback coming!    For organization sake, I'll ask that package/feature questions be put   into their own email thread.
