CyanogenMod 9 enters RC 2 phase, adds support for the Galaxy S III
Good news for the modding community! The CyanogenMod team has released Release Candidate 2 (RC 2) of CyanogenMod 9 - the version of the custom ROM that is based on the platform-redefining Android Ice Cream Sandwich. What makes this release even better is the fact that it adds support for popular devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S III (international versions), Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1), Galaxy S II for AT&T, Galaxy S II for T-Mobile and Galaxy Note for AT&T.
RC 2 of CM 9 should be pretty stable, and perfectly good to be used as a daily driver. It will allow you to get rid of Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX, and replace it with a stock UI with some added functionality. If you have strong desire to mod your Galaxy S III by installing a custom ROM, but are somewhat new to all of this, it's good to know that CyanogenMod is the most popular and fully-featured custom Android ROM.

Meanwhile, members of the team are already working on CM 10, which will be based on the latest Android version - 4.1 Jelly Bean.
