                <h2>You still want to download Mageia Alpha 2?</h2>
                <p>Ok. So first, presentations: we have three (3) ISO images: a 32bit DVD, a 64bit DVD
                    (about 4&nbsp;GB) and a dual arch CD (about 700&nbsp;MB).</p>
                <p>Below you will find the list of servers that currently mirror Mageia software:</p>
                <ol>
                    <li>pick the server that suits you best (preferably in your own country);</li>
                    <li>pick the ISO image that is best for you (their names should be self-evident, we hope).</li>

                    <p>Yes! This release is still rough, and so will be the next one,
                        but even better!</p>
                    <p>There is a lot of things one can contribute
                        to in Mageia: developing, packaging, testing, translating,
                        reporting and fixing bugs, and <a href="http://mageia.org/wiki/">so much more</a>!</p>
                    <p><a href="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=contribute">See

                    <p>Mageia only relies on its own community involvement,
                        be it time, skills, money!</p>

                <p>Yes, this is a rather rough download page, for now. But it is good in that it
                    could make this alpha download less attractive to non-developers.
                    Did we say that we welcome people to contribute in our
                    <a href="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=web">Web</a> and <a href="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sysadmin">Sysadmin teams</a>?
                    There are <a href="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?#teams">other very friendly teams</a> in the project as well.</p>
