Cable Forum - Mandriva to Fork

To form Mageia

Interesting stuff. The Mandriva control panel was always the best among Linux distributions IMO.

Quote:

Mageia distribution will be what the board makes it to be, with the help and contribution of the whole community. We already have ideas and plans for this distribution; we want to:

make Linux and free software straightforward to use for everyone;
provide integrated system configuration tools;
keep a high-level of integration between the base system, the desktop (KDE/GNOME) and applications; especially improve third-parties (be it free of proprietary software) integration;
target new architectures and form-factors;
improve our understanding of computers and electronics devices users.
