Actually, the original thought was from Chuck, at Allegheny, but a lot of folks, myself included, did download the BETA version. You had to remember that Chucks problem was a UEFI/BIOS problem, which is a problem in Centos 5 & 6, but fixed in 7 and Fred suggested to Chuck that it might have helped in that situation. My take on that, was that it was "might help in your situation ONLY" It's a fairly safe bet that the BETA wasn't intended for the rest of us, since it obviously incomplete. (I loaded it too, on an offline machine to see what's new, quickly figured it was over my head, and deleted it. Actually, I noticed on the disk, there were several other loads of Centos 7, so I played with them a while, but wasn't that much in a hurry to put anything else confusing in my head, so I deleted that too. That is why MY suggestion to Chuck, was (my OPINION only) to "find a less modern computer", which will make it a lot easier to learn Rivendell, as a new user, since the version 2 appliance is rock solid. Chuck seems to be on his initial system/contact with Rivendell, so he and ANYONE going in cold, really doesn't need to be on a BETA version BETA, is just that, translated, "not ready for prime time", and there are only a few folks who are likely to make any sense out of it...
