This might sound like an obnoxious question, but how did the
re-branding process from CentOS to SL was performed?

I mean, this is only a release candidate. If I install this RC now, and once the final is
released, will I get the final system by keeping the RC version updated? Running a
"yum update" on an RC takes me to the final version? Or stays at RC? Can we
just switch the repo to 7xrolling and then end up on final?

Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 - Sep 26, 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 release candidate 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.
THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION RELEASE OF SCIENTIFIC LINUX 7.0
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.
