The first alpha release for Scientific Linux 6.1 has been released.

This release has all the new updated packages from
The Upstream Vendors (TUV) Update 1.

It will install, and it appears to work, but no major testing has been
done.

SL Changes from SL 6.0 (in addition to TUV changes.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* redhat-logos
- Shawn Thompson created a whole new graphical theme for SL 6 called
"Edge Of Space".

* sl-release
- We pulled the fastbugs and testing repo's out of the repository file
that comes with sl-release. They are now in their own rpm called
yum-conf-sl-other.
- This is done to fix the problem of people checking the fastbugs during
the install, fastbugs is then not on by default, and updates break.
* yum-conf-sl-other
This contains the sl-fastbugs, sl-testing, and sl-debuginfo yum
repositories.
