+Regarding the mirror, i do have more then A university near me...but i cant
+get in touch with the teachers in charge of these things...that's why i said
+i wanna buy a pc and turn it into a mirror :)
+
+It's like they know about mageia but dont wanna help... :( (bummer) :(

+Oh well...hope that once mageia becomes stable more and more people will
+turn to our side! (evil laugh) >:)
