Scientific Linux 7.3 to Launch of January 25, First Release Candidate Is Out Now

Now that Red Hat launched the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 enterprise-ready operating system, it was just a matter of time for CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other forks to up their game and announce new, updated versions of their GNU/Linux distributions, based, of course, on the freely distributed sources of the former. A first Release Candidate is already available for Scientific Linux 7.3, if you want to be an early adopter and a sport to report bugs, but if no critical ones are being reported during the testing period of two weeks, this RC build will be re-released as the final version of the operating system later this month, on January 25, 2017.
