SCOM 2012 Beta Community Evaluation Program (CEP) now open

At TechEd 2011 the Operations Manager 2012 CEP was announced.

Starting around the time of the public beta the CEP will start, providing an organized way of bringing subject matter experts (SMEs) from the product teams, the community (like MVPs and experienced users) and those interested in taking a deep look at the v.Next software for evaluation and preparation for deployment purposes.

At a guess, we can expect to see a beta around Mid-July due to the response I got when applying to the CEP:

It fails...no idea why...!!!We then installed the Linux agent manually and SCOM did discovered the Linux server. Then we tried to uninstalled the Linux Agent from the SCOM console without any success. Can someone privide any guidence on this issue? Thanks.
