Oh, sorry ;(
Current trends preach simplicity. I suggest that boot screen of the next
releases is a black screen with white mageia cauldron in the center with a
simple progress bar below. Moreover, we must think in widescreen resolutions.
I was watching now and I realized that both mageia and Mandriva have ports for
both i586 and x64 architetures.
When Mageia is released, she will compete directly with Mandriva, even though
this is not your intention, Many Mandriva users will not want to migrate to
Mageia and here is the clever.

If ask.com has an agreement with Mandriva - and Mageia is not Mandriva - I don't
see reason to continue using it.
However, this is a great opportunity to us make agreement with great search
engines and obtain funds. Maybe in the future we can have our own meta search
engine, such like Big Busca -
How do you plan deploy applications source code to user?
Put it on installation DVD would be good, but will increase download size. Other
options are put it on a separated DVD or just at repositiries. However, we must
study GPL for these last option.
This sound like w32codecs issues. I suggest create a nonfree repository or don't
install it if user choose a non-European country during install.
I tried access forum.mageia.org and has an Access denied.

There may be a maintainer for each suite, as there may be a regular for the

In the latter case, we do a poll;)

OK, but we need put a online version of WC. Maybe, instead of put a FAQ list,
put links to random wiki artcles. As to the knowledge base, I recognize that
with the wiki, it really is not necessary.

Hey guys,
I've read almost all topics of this thread, gathered some ideas and created a
non-functional HTML prototype of Mageia Welcome Center.
I would like you to do download it at

and read the README file and get their views for me here.
Let's start doing

This idea was perfect! Easier to do, easier to maintain and easier to update!
Too, we can put more links like: "Go to my personal files", "Syncronize my
mobile devices" and "Update this system". And we can use a Bro

So if you have a proposal about this, do not hesitate ( a little bit
more formal than the one of the wiki, if possible :) ).
Maybe create a new mailing list called mageia-art or similar to discuss logo

Guys,
Mandriva - and many other distros, such like Arch Linux - are optimized to i686
architeture, what means Pentium II. Despite the need to keep compatibility with
older machines, what would be the problem if packages was compiled aganist
Pentium III or 4? Would the system gain more speed?
