A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 4.2, Mageia 7, PCLinuxOS, MX 19, and Elive 3.

Mageia 6 is coming
According to this article, a developer ISO has hit the mirrors. It is a 4 Gb install DVD, so I will download it tonight to give it a quick run.

Upgrading to Mageia 5
I had forgotten to upgrade one of the laptops to Mageia 5.
To be honest, today I was postponing the upgrade because the machine, a rather old Toshiba Satellite which, oh horror, came with Windows VISTA preloaded, put up a fight when I installed Mageia 2 to it.
I normally perform a clean install, but this time I wanted to see if the upgrade feature in Mageia had evolved to tackle this task as it should.
It was pleasant to see how the upgrade was smooth and fast and, more importantly, the laptop was fully operational afterwards.
Good job, Mageia devs!
And the Magic is Ready!
