Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 RELEASED - Oct 13, 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 the release of Scientific 
Linux 7.

NOTE: Please review the SL Release Notes along with
      The Upstream Vendor's Release Notes:

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/index.html

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

== Media ==
You can find the release media at:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/iso/

NOTE: The 'everything' dvd image requires a Dual-Layer (DL) compatible
      drive for both burning and booting off of.

      Alternatively the livecd-iso-to-disk utility is able to convert
      this to USB successfully.  A USB device of sufficient size is
      required.

      Alternatively you can utilize the dd command to write the
      raw image to a USB device.

== UEFI Secure Boot ==
The status of UEFI Secure Boot for Scientific Linux is noted in detail at:

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/#_about_uefi_secure_boot

Booting SL7 with Secure Boot enabled works but requires a manual step. 
This is because the "shim" has not been signed by the UEFI CA. 
Instructions are included within the SL7 Release Notes.

NOTE: The kernels in sl7-security have not yet been built with
      the SL7 Secure Boot Certificate and may not function
      in secure boot environments.
