Doug, Thanks for talking with me about this. I will continue talking with you, I just commented that I am discussing there too. I think that the text of Mageia (in English) in Wikipedia is no longer available on the Internet, nor googlecach. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lD4ffNLZEUUJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mageia+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mageia&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk I copied the text of the page Mageia-en (at googlecach) when it was still available, some days ago. This can help rebuild the new page.

The group explained that they "do not want to be dependent on the economic fluctuations and erratic, unexplained strategic moves of the company". Versions Mageia is released on a 9-month release cycle and each release is supported for 18 months.[6] Latest version The latest stable version is Mageia 1, released in June 2011.
