Mageia is a relatively new Linux distribution, having seen its first official release only a few months ago. Forked off Mandriva, it is supposed to be a friendly operating system for newbies and power users alike. On paper, the mission statement is as good as any Linux, so the real qualifier is the actual testdrive.
I received half a dozen mails requesting that I take Mageia for a spin. Since I have always been relatively pleased with Mandriva, I thought this would be an interesting challenge, as well as a refreshing departure from the cluttered, mostly Ubuntu-dominated affairs of the Linux world. So let’s see what Mageia 1 brings to the desktop land.
