+<PRE>I am not signaling real bugs, but
+some impressions and inconveniences, so I addressing
+the message to the list rather than to bugzilla.
+
+First, no problems encountered with live version
+(without installing) on several notebooks.
+
+Real testing and installation made on VirtualBox,
+with the Gnome version.
+
+Two problems:
+1) If in VirtaulBox I put the video display
+with 3D acceleration in order to have Gnome 3,
+the X is not usable, continues to flicker or
+goes on a loop without allowing me to log in.
+This is true irrespectively on the way I made the
+installation, with 3D acceleration from the beginning or not.
+It is probably a problem of the 3D emulation in VirtualBox.
+
+2) After finishing the installation, I clicked on the
+possibility to upgrade to the latest version of the
+software before rebooting. Although, being in VirtulaBox
+with wired connection, the internet was on, the system
+was unable to upgrade the software and went to a loop (bringing
+up the network, then failed to upgrade, then retrying to bring
+up the network and so on) so I simply shut down the machine. But on
+reboot and logging, the system was unable to find the
+database for the upgrade. So I reinstalled, and made the
+upgrade after the first log in.
+
+I remember that also Mandriva had such a problem,
+which I simply avoided making the upgrade after the
+first log in. I believe that rather than tracking back
+the bug, it is simply better to cancel the option to
+upgrade the packages at the end of installation.
+
+Apart from that.. very good work ! I am seeing Mageia
+scaling up in DistroWatch !
