+
+Kaptan doesn't replace MCC.
+
+See, you always can go to MCC and change whatever you want. But you
+must know what you are looking for.
+
+Kaptan starts after the very first boot, and takes you step-by-step to
+configure most common / basic settings so you can feel comfortable and
+ready after Kaptan's steps are finished. And everything without
+leaving Kaptan's window.
+
+You can go to MCC anytime, but Kaptan should appear just once after
+the first boot.
+
+Here's Kaptan page (SVN link is wrong)
+
+Here's the right SVN link: http://websvn.pardus.org.tr/uludag/trunk/kde/kaptan/
+
+Eventually, could be ported to Mageia. Or at least, developers could
+take a look and evaluate if it's "portable" to Mageia.
+
+Cheers!
