+but I would suggest that all those guys get a network install option. In 
+particular the live CDs, in that case they could replace the boot.iso. 
+It is true that it takes 10x times to download a full CD compared to 
+boot.iso, but that's still tractable?

+I belong to those guys, and I would say NO. :)

+Just because, if you don't like KDE, you won't like LXDE for aesthetic 
+reasons, and XFCE is practical but neither nice in my opinion. However, 
+if would not have a size issue, I'll say YES only if we include all the 
+small desktop environments; because that's a great stuff about Mageia 
+that we have almost all of them.
