The first release candidate of the Mandriva fork Mageia is now available

Here it is! This is the last development release before the first stable version of Mageia. Again we are in time, thanks to the hard work of all the community.

You can choose and download your favourite edition. This release is mainly about bug fixes and translation updates. Live CDs should be available in the coming days.

Time is short now but still you should have enough time for some final tests! Important things to check in the few days left before the official release:

How does the upgrade feel like, starting from Mandriva Linux 2010.1 and 2010.2 to Mageia 1 RC? see our upgrade test page;
Are your computers and peripherals properly recognised and handled by Mageia?
How does the installation process feel like to you? (see our testing procedure).
Mageia 1 stable will be available in 13 days! Stay tuned!
