+<PRE>I just installed Mageia 1 from the DVD on my brother's computer - 
+Biostar M7VIG Pro motherboard, Athlon XP 1500+ processor, 512 MB PC2100 
+DDR RAM, nVidia FX5500 AGP 4x video card, Samsung B2030 monitor 
+connected via VGA, Asus WL-138G V2 wireless card (Broadcom 4318 
+chipset). The existing OS was Mandriva 2010.2. I did a clean install, 
+not an update, leaving the drive with /home intact.
+
+So far, so good. The install went smoothly, no problems. The monitor was 
+correctly identified, and the correct resolution selected. After using 
+the b43 firmware cutter to install the necessary firmware, all that was 
+needed was to select the proper signal to make the wireless connection. 
+After configuring the mirror list, the proprietary nVidia driver was 
+installed, using MCC. Then, 619 updates were downloaded and installed, 
+while I ate some lunch.
+
+My brother's uses are modest - some websurfing (Facebook and Youtube), a 
+bit of email, watch a DVD now and then. His hardware is enough for that 
+kind of work, though he could probably use a video card with DVI output, 
+and some more RAM. I installed the Flashplayer plugin, Oracle's Java 
+version 7u2, Thunderbird, vlc, Kaffeine, and then the latest Adobe 
+Reader and Google Earth for good measure. All seem to be working fine, 
+though there wasn't much time for testing today once I had everything 
+installed. More testing tomorrow, but so far I'd call it an unqualified 
+success.
+
+Just thought you'd like to know...
