[ale] RHEL 7 beta

[Jim Kinney]

For those that thought Fedora 19's installer was bad, well, tough. RedHat
has adopted it for the next release of RHEL.

OK. so it _does_ work, is non-linear, is a gui and pretty much does work.
The big plus is the ability to easily do things again if you realize based
on one section you want to modify another.

get your RHEL7Beta lovin' here:
http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/x86_64/iso/rhel-everything-7.0-beta-1-x86_64-dvd.iso

and read the release notes here:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation//en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7-Beta/html/7.0_Release_Notes/index.html


Their docs are quite good. Maybe they'll release a hadoop version and then
hadoop will get docs tied to a release (and that make sense, and have
enough data to make it work at least by the third try, and...)

ALSO:

EPEL is hiding for RHEL7 beta here:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/
with installer here:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.1.noarch.rpm

NOTE: rpmfusion has not yet released any code so things like nvidia and
broadcom-wl wireless will be a wash from an RPM package viewpoint for a bit
unless a bit of bravery is in use. As RHEL7 is based off Fedora19, the
rpmfusion free and non-free for Fedora19 can be used. I have NOT tested
this personally (yet - vm is installing now).

NOTE 2: a cool audio/acoustic academic program has a Fedora/RHEL/CentOS
repo for those wanting to tinker with/ruin their hearing:

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
