To Mageia, I use these distro only on Notebooks with SIS graphic adapters because Mageia is the only disro with a working (2D) driver for it. The downsite is the feel of the distro. The flashplayer is not included for example, there are bugs at the Mate desktop and so on.

On giving Mageia 8/10 in aesthetics, I gave 5/5 on the graphical boot splash and 3/5 on desktop environment. The Mageia wallpaper is original and beautiful, hence 3 marks. Remaining 2 marks that Mageia didn't get were for original desktop theme. Otherwise how do you differentiate distros like netrunner, Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-695598907243419832014-02-10T12:31:42.913-08:002014-02-10T12:31:42.913-08:00A few questions,
